In a potentially groundbreaking crossover event that promises to combine the worlds of track and field and professional football, American gold medalist sprinter Noah Lyles and five-time NFL All-Pro Tyreek Hill are set to face off in a head-to-head race.

Hill has run a 40-yard dash at an NFL workout in 4.29 seconds. Lyles won the 100 meters at the Olympics last year in 9.784. Most likely, they'll race at a distance in between. People said the race will happen sometime before the national championships in July.

Miami Dolphins Tyreek Hill and Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles told People magazine they plan to race each other this summer.
