No. 67 Tyreek Hill:
“One of the most explosive and dangerous players in the game, and arguably the fastest player in all of football, Tyreek Hill poses a threat to the opposing defense every time he lines up. He had a mixed day in the Super Bowl, but even then he came up with a huge play to spark the comeback when he got behind the defense. Despite missing time through injury, Hill was still extremely effective when he was on the field, and including the playoffs, he generated a passer rating of 109.7 when targeted by either Mahomes or Matt Moore.”
There’s no argument to be had — Hill is the fastest player in all of football and anyone who has played on an island against him will tell you that. The only reason that Hill isn’t higher on this list is that he missed time with a sternoclavicular dislocation injury. As soon as he returned in Week 6, his impact was instantly felt with 80 yards and two scores in what amounts to half of his normal snap count. I’d argue that Hill became a more complete receiver this season than in any of his past seasons, but I’m not sure how you’d account for that in PFF’s grading system.
