As a rookie, Tyreek Hill quickly proved himself as one of the NFL’s most imminently-dangerous players no matter where he was on the field. In 2017, the former college running back made major progress as a wide receiver, flashing All-Pro potential as much more than just a hybrid playmaker. Last year, the Kansas City Chiefs’ […]

Patrick Mahomes blew past even optimistic expectations as a first-year starter, using his rocket arm, natural sense of touch, underrated athleticism, and burgeoning ability to go through multiple reads on a given snap to put together the most dominant individual campaign of any quarterback since Peyton Manning in 2013.

Mecole Hardman almost certainly isn’t the second coming of Tyreek Hill.
