Ranking the 10 most important Kansas City Chiefs
5. Tyreek Hill
There is a reason the Chiefs won the Super Bowl: their roster is loaded with star players.
The fact Hill is No. 5 on this list is a testament to how deep and talented this Chiefs roster is. Hill is the fastest player in the NFL but he also handles like a fine sports car. Pairing him with Patrick Mahomes’ cannon arm and incredible instincts has created one of the deadliest quarterback-wide receiver tandems in NFL history.
Last year, Hill missed four games with a chest injury and most of two others. Still, Hill racked up 860 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. In the playoffs, despite constantly being double-teamed, Hill caught two touchdowns in the AFC Championship Game and then authored the signature moment of the season by being on the receiving end of Mahomes’ throw on Wasp.
Without Hill, the Chiefs are not the keepers of the Lombardi Trophy.
