Are NFL players the fastest of all major sports? (alien.top)

Watching the NLCS tonight and saw a relatively slow guy steal a base and got to thinking. Who or which sport in general has the fastest athletes? Is it the NFL? Now this doesn't include track athletes as I know Bolt has recorded a top speed of over 27mph and even college track stars are routinely faster than the quickest in the NFL.

So is it the NFL, Soccer, Baseball, etc? I always assumed soccer would have the fastest players but quick Google shows even Mbappe who to my eyes is insanely fast only has a top recorded speed of 22.3 mph.

And are there any recorded times for all time speedsters like Ricky Henderson? Bo Jackson? Is Tyreek the fastest ever?

On your mark, get set, go!

I think the OP is confusing fast with quick it’s like saying velocity and acceleration are the same thing
