MIAMI — One thing you learn when you cover enough Super Bowls is that no matter how unheralded a player may be coming into the week, there’s always a story to tell, and somebody who would like to hear it. But that’s for the 6,000 or so media members credentialed for the event.
When it comes to game time this Sunday, and Super Bowl LIV kicks off, there are players on both teams — the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers — who may not be known to the general public, but who are ready to make serious contributions to their teams efforts. So, let’s go under the hood of these two rosters and reveal three players for each team whose performances this season should not go unnoticed any longer.
Here are the secret superstars of Super Bowl LIV, with thoughts on all six players from teammates and opponents.
Chiefs: Daniel Sorensen | Sammy Watkins | Charvarius Ward
49ers: Deebo Samuel | Fred Warner | Mike Person
