The two Chiefs wide receivers have traded barbs about their speed ever since Hardman was chosen in the second round of last year's draft. Hardman and Hill both have world-class speed — that much was never in question — but just who was the fastest man in Kansas City wasn't settled until the two lined up in the team's indoor facility this past week. Hill won easily. Hardman copped to it on social media with a sad-face emoji. (AP Photo/Doug Benc, File)
