One of the NFL’s fastest players doesn’t think he can replicate D.K. Metcalf’s chasedown tackle on Budda Baker, but not for the reason you might think.
Metcalf’s chasedown tackle on Baker after Russell Wilson’s interception in Week 7 is one of the more memorable plays of the NFL season so far.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was impressed, too. But Hill doesn’t think he would ever have to do what Metcalf did.
Why? That would require Patrick Mahomes to throw an interception.

Mahomes has only thrown one interception this year, so Hill isn’t that far off. Mahomes did throw two in the Super Bowl, though.
One thing we do know: Hill definitely has the speed to chase down just about anybody. He’s shown that on plays such as this one.
