3. WR Tyreek Hill

The Kansas City Chiefs drafted a versatile offensive playmaker in Tyreek Hill since being drafted in 2016. Hill was heavily active as a receiver, rusher and return specialist his rookie season, finding the end zone 12 times that year. Since then, Hill’s role as a rusher and returner have decreased while becoming the starting wide receiver on the team.

2018 was a big season for Hill. He caught 87 passes for 1,479 yards and 12 touchdowns catches. Hill’s 12 touchdowns tied second with Chris Burford for most in a single-season while his 1,479 yards became a single-season best in Chiefs history. Hill passed Derrick Alexander’s 18-year record of 1,391 receiving yards in 2000

In receiving, rushing and returning altogether, Hill has 32 plays of 40 yards or more. Hill led the NFL in 2017 and 2018 in plays of 40+ yards, earning nine in 2017 and eight more in 2018. Even during a year where Hill missed four games due to injury, he is still in the top 10 in the NFL this year in plays of 40+ yards this season.

While there are a plethora of speedsters in the NFL today, none compare to Hill as he has been able to create mismatches and outrun nearly every defensive back he has gone up against.
