The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are preparing for Super LIX on Sunday in New Orleans.

On Monday, plenty of players had interviews ahead of the big game, and as always, there were plenty of notable soundbites.

One of those most surprising ones came between Cooper Manning, Arch Manning's dad, and Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy, a former teammate of Arch's at Texas.

On Monday, Cooper Manning had some time with Worthy and they discussed several things.

One of them was regarding Worthy's speed, and Cooper Manning stated that Arch Manning said he could beat Worthy in a 10-yard dash.

"Arch says he could probably beat you in a 10-yard dash," Cooper Manning said.

"Arch probably can give me the 10, Arch is fast," Worthy replied.

"Arch could probably can get me in a 10. Arch is fast"

Cooper Manning with, "Then it's over" and Worthy said," Yeah, then it's over."

At last year's NFL Combine, Worthy set a new record by running the 40-yard dash in 4.21 seconds, beating the previous record of 4.22 held by John Ross.

Arch Manning turned some heads this year with a 67-yard touchdown run against UTSA, and it was recorded that he put up top speeds of over 20 MPH during that game.

Still, Arch Manning beating Worthy in any type of race would be something to see.
