Several Hall of Famers and NFL large ones have been called Super Bowl MVP over the years. Patrick Mahomes was the MVP every Super Bowl he has won. Meanwhile, Tom Brady has won five Super Bowl MVP awards.
At the same time, some lesser -known people surprised everyone and had the best game of their Super Bowl life. Former Seattle Seahawks Linebacker Malcolm Smith, who never made a pro bowl and played for six different teams, was named MVP of the Super Bowl Xlviii MVP after recording a pick-six, a redirect and ten races. Dexter DEXTER Jackson, who never won the All-Pro or Pro Bowl Honors, is another player called Super Bowl MVP despite having a stellar career outside the big game.
Anything that can happen to Super Bowl. While Mahomes and Saquon Barkley could end up being the most valuable player in the game, there are some people in both teams who could stun NFL fans and be called MVP.
Here are four Dark Horse candidates who can win the Super Bowl Lix MVP Honors.
Dallas Goederert, too. Eagles
It’s no secret that I was high Dallas Goeds Ever since Philly hit her ticket to Super Bowl Lix. He is fifth in the playoffs in the receipt of yards (188) and in the second in banquets (15). These are his numbers among all pass-catchers. When we look only tight ends, it is second in banquets, second in the first downs, and first in the lump.
Goedert had a regular season, but this is due to the fact that he lost time due to injury. Although he only played in ten regular matchups, he still managed to make 42 catches for 496 yards and two touchdowns, equivalent to 49.6 meters per game. While this does not sound much, this is ranked sixth among all the tight limbs in the NFL this season. What is even more crazy is that the other five tight ends that averaged more shipyards per game than him were all named in Pro Bowl.
Although Kansas City did a good job to contain the tight ends of Buffalo Bills, this was not the case when they were playing Houston Texans. Houston’s tight ends had only targeted five times in the partial round, but they caught all five passages for 65 yards. No lack of respect for Dalton Schultz and Irv Smith Jr., but I think Dallas Goedert is a much more serious threat he receives from one of these guys.
With two weeks of preparation and a defense of chiefs that allows 20.5% of all passing shipyards to go on tight edges, I think Dallas Goedert could be a huge part of Philly’s offense if they end up winning this Sunday.
Kareem Hunt, RB. Leaders
Rookie Xavier Worthy’s wide receiver was my other choice for Chiefs’ aggressive MVP Dark Horse, but I don’t think anyone would be shocked if the worthy ending up being the most valuable player in the game. He drives KC to banquets in this postseason and is the second in the lumping backs behind only Travis Kelce.
Given how average this after the period was, I think Kareem Hunt would be a much more amazing MVP winner.
In his eighth year as a professional, the 2017 NFL NFL leader signed with the Chiefs Practice Team in September after began running behind Isiah Pacheco. Although Pacheco has returned to Action in week 13, it has not been the same since then, with average only 29.3 hasty yards per game during its last seven starts.
With Pacheco fighting, Hunt was the bell back for Kansas City. It has an average of 54 meters and one touchdown per playoff game. Take into account, put these numbers against Texans (first ranked against the playoffs) and accounts (ranked in sixth place against the playoffs).
Since the eagles deliver 4.5 meters per attempted rush, I could see Kareem Hunt going for 90+ meters and two hasty touchdowns this weekend. If Patrick Mahomes is held in less than 220 passing yards and only a touchdown, then Hunt’s performance should be good enough to win it MVP.
Reed Blankenship, DB. Eagles
The defense of the Eagles is absolutely stacked. Defender Lineman Jalen Carter has emerged as one of the most dominant players in the championship with amazing 20 total pressures in the playoffs. Linebacker Zack Baun has played as a prospective defensive player of the year with 26 total races, forced overthrow, intercept and two recovery.
I could see one of these kids who might be called MVP of Super Bowl Lix. However, the defensive rear Reed Blanket could come out of nowhere and be called the most valuable player in the game.
Blankenship has 24 total matches in Postseason, the fourth among all players and the second or more of the security. According to Pro Football Focus, it also has allowed only seven receptions In the playoffs, the third-fewest between 49 security after the period. To overcome things, he forced a blow against Green Bay Packers and made a critical recovery in the NFC league game.
The statue line was amazing and should reproduce this kind of performance in the Super Bowl if it wants to win the MVP.
I am fully waiting for him to make a lot of races. After all, he has an average of eight in total he faces per game in the playoffs. Unfortunately, creating many races will not be enough to win the Super Bowl MVP. Blanketship should cause at least one turnover (either forced reconstruction, recovery or intercept) and record at least half a bag if the most valuable player in the game wants to be called.
Nick Bolton, Lb. Leaders
Defender Lineman Chirs Jones has been Kansas City’s best defender for several years. It has been named All-Pro six times, while also winning Pro Bowl honors six times. He gets a lot of faith and attention for the success of the leaders, and rightly so! But Linebacker Nick Bolton was an invisible hero for KC.
As a recruiter, Bolton recorded 112 total matches. Then, in 2022-when the leaders began this running three-direct appearances of the Super Bowl-up production to 180 during the regular season (second in the NFL). Although he lost a lot of games in 2023, he led all players in total, he faces the latest postseason with 40.
Bolton may not lead leaders to face this postseason but has played 135 defensive snaps, which is the Seventh most overall snaps Between 53 linebackers in the playoffs, according to PFF. The fact that he plays so much makes him a primary candidate to be MVP.
He should take after the general if he wants to be the most valuable player in the Super Bowl Lix. Fortunately, he has shown the ability to hurry the passerby. Among the Playoff LineBackers, it is sixth on Pass Rush Snaps and fourth in overall pressures.
However, Bolton should be better at cover. Although he plays the seventh Snaps coverage between Postseason Lines, he ranks 32nd in passer -ranking.
Similarly with Reed Blankets, Nick Bolton will probably record many matches. I could see him have six in total. If he sailed his general Philly once or twice and also records some passes, then he will have a strong matter to be the Super Bowl MVP.
