These 10 players are the best bets for Super Bowl 55 MVP
Scouting Report. Kansas City Chiefs. Travis Kelce. Pick Analysis. TE. 4. player. 124
There isn’t a better security blanket in the NFL than Travis Kelce. As much as he a perfect check down option for when Mahomes is under pressure, he technically was the team’s go-to target for the 2020 season. How else do you explain over 1,400 yards for a tight end?
Kelce is a perfect red zone threat. Mahomes loves to shovel pass near the goal line and let his receivers do the work for the final three yards. This season alone, six of Kelce’s 11 scores have come from inside the 10.
Mahomes will use Kelce early and often. The connection there is so strong that few could be compared to it despite having only three years of working together. This is a perfect combination to guarantee six points, meaning if he leads the team in touchdowns, he could be hoisting the hardware
player. 124. WR. Tyreek Hill. 3. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Kansas City Chiefs
Tyreek Hill is pure speed. That was the quote on him coming out of college. Since then, the 5-foot-10 weapon has developed into one of the league’s top route-runners who is deadly with a ball after the catch.
This postseason has been a solid one for Hill. In both games he’s tallied over 110 yards and at least had one play of over 20-plus yards. There’s also the fact that he’s averaged 16.6 yards per game over the last month. Against the Bucs in Week 12, Hill had three touchdowns and 269 receiving yards.
Hill can win on short routes. He can win deep. The biggest place where he is successful is making defenders miss early and then sprinting down the sidelines for a big gain. The all-time record for most receiving yards in a Super Bowl is 211 by Jerry Rice. Should Hill beat that, it likely won’t matter if he can find the end zone or not.
