Key Players
Rodgers' football IQ remains elite. His ability to process pre-snap information and manipulate defenses with eyes and pump fakes is unmatched.
When healthy, Tua is one of the AFC's most accurate passers. His ability to deliver on time and in rhythm makes Miami's speed-based offense extraordinarily difficult to defend.
Wilson is one of the most technically refined route runners in the NFL. His ability to create separation against press coverage and make contested catches has made him the Jets' most dangerous offensive weapon.
Hill remains the fastest receiver in professional football. His ability to threaten the defense vertically on every snap forces safeties to play deep, opening space for other receivers.
