Kansas City Chiefs star wide receiver Tyreek Hill has continued to emerge as one of the league's top offensive talents behind his explosive playmaking ability.
Hill has largely proven to be a huge asset as an elite deep throw target in the Chiefs' passing game where he has put forth most of his production. According to Pro Football Focus, he has tallied nearly half of his receiving yards this season on 20-plus yard throws down the field.

Hill has game-changing ability behind his blazing his speed as arguably the fastest wide receiver in the NFL that can break a big play on any given reception due to his unique skill set. What has also helped is that he has a promising young quarterback in Patrick Mahomes that has the arm to make the deep throws to utilize his speed to its fullest. This alone has been a tremendous part in him being able to take his game to the next level due to Mahomes having the ability to stretch the field with his strong arm.
This has led to Hill putting together the most productive campaign of his career with 78 receptions for 1,304 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. He has posted north of 100 receiving yards five times including reaching that feat on three occasions in the last five games played. This was highlighted by his career-best outing with 10 receptions for 214 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns. He leads the NFL with 25 receptions for 20 or more yards and seven 40-yard catches this season.
The Chiefs have put together the ideal offensive game plan that greatly utilizes Hill as a primary factor in the passing game that has pushed impact to the next level. If Kansas City hopes to compete for the Super Bowl, it will need him to play a pivotal part of the offense.
