Super Bowl 55 boasts an amazing quarterback matchup -- and
Tottenham Hotspur Jersey -- but there are a quartet of rookies with the abilities to have an impact. Some are obvious. Some aren't. And, remember, just last year, first-year pros and were quite impactful in Super Bowl 54. So which rookies could play an important role in lifting their squads to a Super Bowl title in Tampa on Sunday?Here are four that we think could help put their team over the top:Impact level: HighBy now you probably know -- Sneed enters the Super Bowl as Pro Football Focus' highest-graded rookie cornerback. The rookie from Louisiana Tech has been good.Originally deployed on the outside, Sneed has found a home in the slot with the Chiefs as a rookie after playing safety in his final season at college. And we aren't dealing with some fine se, overachiever here. Sneed had 19 pa s breakups and eight interceptions in four years with the Bulldogs and ran 4.37 along with a 41-inch vertical.He'll likely see a great deal of and , so Sneed will absolutely play a vital role in determining the outcome of this Super Bowl. Impact level: HighWith 94
Cristiano Ronaldo Jersey tackles during the regular season to go along with six pa s breakups and an interception while playing nearly 91% of the defensive snaps, Winfield has been an impactful piece to what the Buccaneers can do on defense.He's played nearly 800 snaps as a true free safety, thereby allowing Todd Bowles to deploy another safety in the middle of the field as a robber or in the box as an extra defender to halt the run. It's rare to see Winfield out of position in coverage, and it's rare to see a team place so much faith in a rookie as the line of defense in coverage. Winfield's earned that trust, and, as evidenced by his tackle figure, he's
North Central America Jersey made his presence felt against the run. Impact level: LowJohnson only has two grabs for 31 yards in the playoffs, but one was an outstanding back-shoulder grab against the in the divisional round victory. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder who rocked for years at Minnesota is certainly deep down the depth chart at receiver for Tampa Bay, but has the complete game to become a true X-factor
Newcastle United Jersey if the Chiefs do a fine job handling the Buccaneers top receiving trio.While not particularly amazing in any area, Johnson gets off the line fluidly, is flashy after the catch, can win in jump-ball situations, and is a crisp route runner. Don't be surprised if Brady looks his way out of the slot on a few occasions.Impact level: HighNo first-year player will be more important in Super Bowl 55 than Wirfs. The instant superstar right tackle has done a marvelous job protecting Brady and paving lanes for and all season, playing with a veteran-like blend of balance but quick feet, upper-body power, and magnificent recovery skill if initially beaten. Wirfs will see the strong and athletic often, and if he's completely neutralized by Wirfs, Brady will likely have plenty of time to survey before finding an open target. While it'd be a challenge for an offensive tackle to win Offensive Rookie of the Year, Wirfs had a legitimate case this season. He's allowed just 23 pre sures on 817 pa s-blocking snaps this season. And since the start of Week 12 -- when he pitched a shutout against the Chiefs defense -- Wirfs has surrendered a minuscule four
AC Milan Jersey pre sures on 332 pa s-blocking snaps. He's been dominant.
