Marquez Valdes-Scantling is probably one of the NFL’s faster receivers. He’s a big play waiting to happen … but only if he actually catches the ball. Despite his speed, Valdes-Scantling has a notorious drop reputation and was undoubtedly one of the biggest reasons the Kansas City Chiefs offense struggled during the second half of the regular season.
About that.
On Sunday, with a trip to Super Bowl 58 on the line, Valdes-Scantling, of all people, made the game-sealing catch against the Baltimore Ravens’ league-leading defense. What irony for a player who probably would’ve dropped such a big pass earlier this season.
Former Chief Tyreek Hill — who is never a stranger to huge plays — made sure to give Valdes-Scantling some love on Twitter:
What y’all got to say about MVS now 🤣

Kudos to Valdes-Scantling for stepping up when his team needed him the most. The Chiefs are in the Super Bowl again, and you can bet Valdes-Scantling will have his number called at some point in Las Vegas.
