Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons made some interesting comments ahead of his team’s Sunday matchup with the Miami Dolphins.

The 10-4 Cowboys are set to face off against the 10-4 Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.

Parsons was asked about the challenge of trying to contain Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill. The Cowboys star praised Hill, but not before claiming that he was fasted than the 29-year-old wideout nicknamed “cheetah.”

“Tyreek knows I am faster than him,” said Parsons. “It’s not fun at all when you’re getting ready to go against someone like Tyreek Hill because I know I got to run faster than I ever have all year. I might hit a miles per hour mach speed chasing someone like him.”

Parsons’ spicy take comes with some evidence. The Cowboys star comfortably beat Hill and several other speedsters in the NFL’s Fastest Man Race during the Pro Bowl two seasons ago (video here).

Hill and Parsons have had a friendly rivalry going on for quite some time. The Dolphins star issued a warning for Parsons way back in September despite their matchup not being until Christmas Eve. Hill claimed that he had “a present” ready for Parsons when their two teams finally matched up.

With sparks already flying between the two, the real winners may be football fans who get to watch the Dolphins-Cowboys game for the holidays.
