2. Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs

Tyreek Hill is a phenomenal playmaker and a do-it-all weapon for the Chiefs. He is a threat to score anytime he touches the ball, as evidenced by his 20 career touchdowns. Moreover, the third year player out of West Alabama has already been named to two Pro-Bowls.

Despite playing part-time in Kansas City his rookie season, he still caught 61 passes. In his sophomore season, he took a leap in production hauling in 75 passes for 1,183 yards.

With a sub 4.3 40-yard dash, there are almost no players that can keep up with him in a speed contest. Similarly to Watkins’ big-play potential, Hill’s speed will be a huge asset with Mahomes’ big arm. I anticipate Hill remaining on this list as long as he can keep himself out of off-field trouble.
