A tweet that emerged recently and urged Twitter users to challenge their first follow to a race was taken seriously by Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill. The NFL superstar has challenged the first person he ever followed – the ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, and now fans are looking at the setup of a race for charity.

Adam Schefter Looks Ready to Take Up the Challenge of Tyreek Hill

Even though Tyreek Hill is one of the fastest players in the league, Adam Schefter is ready to race him. Given that Schefter is not a professional athlete, Hill said that he would give him a 40-yard head start to make the 100-yard race more interesting. While it may seem that Hill would beat Schefter easily, even with the 40-yard cushion, the journalist is probably capable of putting up a fight. A few years ago, he ran a 5.02 40-yard dash dressed in a shirt and khakis.

Who would win the probable charity race quickly became a topic for heated discussion, and fans have looked at it from every angle. Considering the race to be a distance-to-overtake calculus question, experts have pointed out that Schefter would have to run 40 yards in 5 seconds like the last time, and then cover the remaining 20 before Hill overtakes him. Taking his peak speed and pace into account, experts say Schefter could finish his 60-yard dash in just about 8 seconds.

Tyreek Hill Can Run at 22.6 mph In Pads and Could Still Lose the Race

Statistics have shown that Tyreek Hill is incredibly fast and can do 40 yards in 4.3 seconds. His speed in pads was measured at 22.6 mph, and if he kept an optimal running pace, the receiver could finish the 100-yard dash in about 9,7 seconds. For reference, Hill was racing Terrell Owens this summer in a similar 100-yard dash and managed to cover those in about 9.89 seconds. Still, that time was done without pads, which means that the Chiefs superstar could be even slower.

All things considered, a 40-yard head start is quite a lot for an athlete to catch up. So, unless Schefter stumbles and falls, which is not out of the question, he should be able to beat Tyreek Hill in this noble race.

Barcelona star Lionel Messi is considered to be one of the greatest football players of all time. Antonela Roccuzzo has been with him from the early days of his career.

She has released a total of seven albums and even represented Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015 with the song “Amanecer”. The couple welcomed their first child, Yanay, in March 2021.

There is no denying that Christian Eriksen has stolen the headlines at Euro 2020, unfortunately for the wrong reasons. But thankfully, his loving wife Sabrina has been by his side every step of the way.

The couple has had two kids, a boy and a girl during their time together and they are all grateful that he managed to survive his scary in-game cardiac arrest at the beginning of the tournament. Eriksen and Sabrina were invited to attend the Euro 2020 final.

Reece James has had a fantastic year in his early career. Not only has he won the Champions League and featured briefly for England during their incredible Euro 2020 run, but he has also found himself a beautiful girlfriend.

One of Italy’s standout performers at Euro 2020 was Federico Chiesa, who plies his trade for Serie A heavyweights Juventus. The young winger has been in a relationship with Benedetta Quagli since 2019.

A famous model, brunette Quagli has over 80k followers on Instagram and is a proud native of Florence, which is where Chiesa started off his career at. Chiesa has already eclipsed his father’s success, Enrico Chiesa, who was also a professional soccer player.

It’s amazing to think that Harry Kane and his wife Katie started off as simply friends at elementary school. The young man from North London has transformed into one of the most prolific strikers in the world of soccer.

But he couldn’t have done it without his beloved Katie by his side. The couple tied the knot in 2019, a couple of years after welcoming their first child – Ivy. They have since had a second child together – a boy called Louis.

Ciro Immobile might not be firing on all cylinders for the Italian national team, but he certainly is as far as his relationship is concerned. Around the time the two met, Jessica Melena was studying criminology and forensic science at the University of L’Aquila.

However, she decided to put that dream to one side when she shacked up with Immobile. Two years later, the couple tied the knot in Melena’s hometown of Buccianico. They have since had three kids together.

Raheem Sterling has certainly received a lot of criticism, as well as online abuse over the last couple of years. But it seems like the Manchester City winger has silenced all of his doubters through his awesome performances at Euro 2020.

Things look good for Raheem in the love department, having been with Paige Milian since 2012. That was when Sterling was still playing for Liverpool and Paige was working at JD Sports. These days, they live in a $4.8 million mansion in Cheshire.

There is no denying that Marco Verratti is an integral part of the Italian national team’s midfield. But you could say that Jessica Aidi plays an even more integral part in his own life off the field.

The couple started dating after Verratti divorced his ex-wife Laura Zazzara, with whom he has two kids. They were first spotted together at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2019 and they have since got engaged. Aidi works for Next Models in Paris/Milan.

A lot has been said about the size of Harry Maguire’s head and the threat it poses during set-piece situations. But off the field, the Sheffield-born defender’s fiancee Fern makes sure his head never gets too big.

The couple met back in 2011 and since then, they have had two daughters – Piper Rose and Lillie Saint. There is no denying that Fern has been overwhelmingly proud of “Slabhead’s” efforts at Euro 2020, cheering him on from the stands at Wembley Stadium.

At the heart of Italy’s rock-solid defense are veteran center backs Georgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci, who have played together at club and national level for a long, long time.

Outside of soccer though, Bonucci’s partner in crime is the beautiful Martina Maccari. He met the former model/blogger through a mutual friend back in 2008. It goes without saying that Maccari has been watching Bonucci’s every move during his time at Euro 2020. And we imagine she’ll continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

While his time spent playing for Everton has been met with plenty of criticism, Jordan Pickford never seems to put a foot wrong between the goalposts for his country. The young goalkeeper seems to be doing pretty well in his personal life too.

Jordan and Megan started dating when they were only 14 years old. Upon his return from the World Cup in 2018, Pickford was excited to announce his engagement to Megan and in 2020, they tied the knot. Megan has a degree from Sunderland University.

PSG ace Neymar is known for his skill on the pitch and impressive goalscoring record. However, his romantic life is subject to lots of press speculation, as he split with his long-term girlfriend, Bruna Marquezine, in 2018. He’s now linked to Cuban-Croatian beauty Natalia Barulich.

She seemed to confirm their relationship with an Instagram post, writing, “Everyone knows how extraordinarily talented you are, but if they could only see how real & beautiful you are inside your heart.”

Juventus center forward Paulo Dybala is often referred to as “La Joya” (meaning “the jewel”) due to his creative style of play, pace, talent, and eye for goal. However, we think that his girlfriend Oriana Sabatini is also worthy of that nickname!

The Argentine model, actress, and singer started dating Dybala in 2017 — and their relationship has continued to thrive, just like their respective careers. They met at an Ariana Grande concert, as Oriana was a supporting act on the tour!

German youngster Kai Havertz has skill beyond his 21 years. He currently plays for Premier League club Chelsea FC, but his relationship is a lot more understated than many of the others on this list. He prefers to keep his romance with Sophia Weber out of the spotlight, save for a few Instagram snaps.

Bright-eyed brunette Weber is believed to have been a childhood friend of Havertz, and she’s even rumored to be his first and only serious girlfriend.

Winger Leroy Sane has been in a relationship with New Yorker Candice Brook since 2017. She’s no stranger to high-profile love affairs, having been linked in the past to singer Chris Brown, NBA player Safaree Samuels, and rapper French Montana. However, this is her first time experiencing WAG life!

The singer and model juggles her career with taking care of her two kids, Rio Stella and Tobias, in their home of Germany — where Sane plays for Bayern Munich.

Annekee Molenaar rounds off the list. The young model comes from a football family, as her father Keje Molenaar played for FC Volendam, Ajax Amsterdam, Feyenoord Rotterdam, and SVV. Maybe that’s why she clicked with Juventus star Matthijs de Ligt.

This couple is hugely successful in their careers despite their youth, living together in an apartment worth 1.2 million euros! The stunning Dutch model loves to share selfies and images from her photoshoots, as she models for worldwide fashion brands.
