After making just 13 catches as a rookie poached in the sixth round out of Bowling Green, Miller followed up with 33 receptions for 501 yards and three touchdowns in the 2020 season. He added a modest four catches in three postseason games as the Buccaneers swept through the NFC playoffs to arrive at Super Bowl 55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was one catch in particular, however, that brought Miller to the attention of NFL fans who had yet to take notice of the 5-foot-11, 174-pound receiver who logged 208 catches and 23 TDs in the final three seasons at Bowling Green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With eight seconds left in the first half of the NFC championship game, Tampa Bay should have been angling for a quick completion to set up a field-goal attempt for Ryan Succop. Instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/tom-brady-and-the-buccaneers-just-got-a-huge-boost-ahead-of-super-bowl-55\/\">Tom Brady<\/a> threw deep to the left for Miller, who blew past single coverage from cornerback Kevin King for a 39-yard touchdown. Succop\u2019s extra point gave the Bucs a 21-10 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tampa Bay held on for a 31-26 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tyreek Hill is a favorite Patrick Mahomes weapon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Buccaneers WR Scotty Miller claims that he is faster than Tyreek Hill.<br><br>Here is how they would have fared if they raced one another in high school: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uaTvB1zUTf\">pic.twitter.com\/uaTvB1zUTf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; BroBible (@BroBible) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BroBible\/status\/1354490505569165317?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 27, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/why-did-a-heated-tyreek-hill-shove-his-wide-receivers-coach\/\">Why Did a Heated Tyreek Hill Shove His Wide Receivers Coach?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tyreek Hill is the Kansas City\u2019s Chiefs\u2019 enormously successful fifth-year receiver out of West Alabama. A fifth-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft, Hill has made the most of his speed and elusiveness to earn first-team All-Pro honors three times, including in the 2020 regular season. He made 61 catches and scored six touchdowns as a rookie despite starting only one game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chiefs began taking advantage of his stretch-the-field ability in 2017, when Hill averaged 15.8 yards a catch. The rise of quarterback <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/why-did-a-heated-tyreek-hill-shove-his-wide-receivers-coach\/\">Patrick Mahomes<\/a> in 2018 has coincided with Hill\u2019s own ascension. Hill has averaged 77 catches a year the past three seasons at 15.6 yards a pop, and he has scored 34 times. Chiefs coach Andy Reid has also thrown Hill into the mix in the ground game, where he\u2019s averaged 7.4 yards per rush in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fare in containing Hill will be a major factor in who wins Super Bowl 55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tyreek Hill vs. Scotty Miller: Which Super Bowl 55 receiver is faster?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"POST-GAME WORKOUT | Tyreek Hill Workouts\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tkQZh-Tn164?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/where-did-tyreek-hills-cheetah-nickname-come-from\/\">Where Did Tyreek Hill\u2019s \u2018Cheetah\u2019 Nickname Come From?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tyreek Hill is significantly more accomplished than Scotty Miller at this juncture, but they have two things in common. Each has a highly talented quarterback \u2013 Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady \u2013 capable of getting the ball into their hands in a way in which they can do maximum damage. And each has ridiculous speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which of the two is faster is a matter of some debate, and Miller raised eyebrows recently by staking a claim to the title of Super Bowl 55\u2019s fastest man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m taking me, every day of the week,\u201d Miller told Dan Patrick this week, as transcribed by <a href=\"https:\/\/brobible.com\/sports\/article\/scotty-miller-bucs-faster-tyreek-hill\/\">BroBible.com<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ll take me over anybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTyreek is unbelievable, super quick, unbelievable talent. But if we\u2019re talking about a race, I\u2019ve got all the confidence in myself going up against anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Short of the two putting on running spikes and settling the issue <em>mano a mano <\/em>at the local high school track,football fans may never know who is faster. Hill has been credited with running the 40-yard dash in 4.29 seconds at his college pro day. Miller was said to have clocked 4.39 seconds at his pro day, though Bucs GM <a href=\"https:\/\/deadspin.com\/scotty-miller-is-extremely-wrong-in-thinking-he-can-out-1846144824\">Jason Licht swears it was a 4.30<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is that no two running surfaces are the same, and weather conditions three years and hundreds of miles apart could be wildly different. Throw in the fact that hand timing of sprinters is notoriously unreliable, and there is just no way of knowing for sure. All things considered, one-tenth of one second over 40 yards has to be considered within the margin for error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>All stats courtesy of <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/\"><em>Pro Football Reference<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Receivers Tyreek Hill of the Kansas City Chiefs and Scotty Miller of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to Super Bowl 55 as two of the fastest players in the NFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":140,"featured_media":1309700,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[4996,5100,4995,4943],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tyreek Hill vs. Scotty Miller: Which Super Bowl 55 Receiver Is Faster?
