Super Bowl Lix is the 25th game of the NFL title of the century, starting with the victory of the Rams in January 2000, so it is a perfect time to display our All-Speeper bowl team of the 21st century, with the best To play in the big game in each position.
It is difficult to make this list without being dominated by the dynasties, especially the Patriots, but also the chiefs and their streak of four (which will soon be five) Super Bowls with the same stars that lead the way. How weighs an incredible game against three really good? That was the task for Fox Sports NFL Greg Auman and Eric D. Williams reporters.
Here is your alignment, which, of course, is open for debate.
Attack player: Tom Brady, Patriots/Bucaneros
It is difficult to discuss this: 25 TouchDown passes of the Super Bowl, when no one else has more than seven. Brady played in 10 Super Bowls and won seven, including five Super Bowl MVP awards. Over time, Patrick Mahomes could catch him, but it is difficult to argue that he is more than half, as good as Kansas City QB has been.
Runner -up: Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs
Corridor: Marshawn Lynch, Seahawks
This is the position in which the last 25 Super Bowls are not as good as the first 33. The most hasty yards in Super Bowls since 2000 belongs to … Antowin Smith, with 175. There are nine types with more bowls runners yards yards Prior to 2000: Franco Harris, Terrell Davis, ITIMT Smith among them. But in this century, we chose Lynch, who had 141 yards and two touchdowns in his two Super Bowls.
Runner -up: James White, Patriots
Open receptors: Julian Edelman, Patriots; Cooper CoupRams; Santonio Holmes, Steel
You could almost go to all the patriots here. They have the first four places in the Super Bowl receiving yards since 2000, led by Edelman, which was 337, although with only a touchdown. Kupp reminds us how difficult it is for a non QB to win a MVP of the Super Bowl, having won one three years ago in the victory of the Rams with two touchdowns, including the winner of the game with the remaining 1:25. Holmes obtained his game winner for Steelers with 35 seconds in the Super Bowl XLIII, even better.
Runner -up: HIES WARD, Steelers; Danny Amendola, Patriots; Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals
Closed wing: Rob GronkowskiPatriots
This is a legitimately difficult option, and the runner -up here is probably a place of the first team rather than any back or most receptors. Gronkowski has played in a Super Bowl more than Travis Kelce (at least for a few days) and has a slight advantage in yards: 364-350. But what gives Gronk the assent is his five catches of TouchDown, compared to two for Kelce.
Runner -up: Travis Kelce, Chiefs

Attempts: Orlando Pace, Rams; Jonathan Ogden, Crows
We are only going to choose the two best cups and not miss on the left vs. right here. Pace played in two Super Bowls, winning one, while Ogden played in one. The fact that it was not with Brady’s best tacle in their Super Bowl races is essentially trying to avoid one million patriots here, but give credit to the runners -up for nine Super Bowls (and five victories) among them.
Runner -up: Matt Light, Patriots; Nate Solder, Patriots
Guards: Alan Faneca, Steelers; Joe ThuneyPatriots/Chiefs
Thuney is a rare cross between dynasties. It was 2-1 in Super Bowls with the Patriots and played in a victory with the Chiefs, losing another due to an injury. He gets the approval of Nick Allegretti, who has already been in four Super Bowls with Kansas City, starting in two of them. Faneca played in a single Super Bowl, but receives the approval for the other place.
Runner -up: Nick Allegretti, Chiefs; Mariscal Yanda, Cuervos
Center: Jason Kelce, Eagles
Another hard call that involves a Kelce. If we wait until after Sunday’s game, we could give this to Creed Humphrey of the Chiefs, which has already begun in three Super Bowls. Kelce was a central part of the two Eagles Super Bowl teams, including a champion, which we chosen for the assent of the first team, but Humphrey is building his case with each appearance.
Runner -up: Creed Humphrey, Chiefs
Edge Rushers: By Miller, Broncos/RAMS; Justin Tuck, Giants
Miller is the best close in defense, she is the best since 2000 with 4.5 captures in two appearances in the Super Bowl. The rapid edge corridor also has two loose balls forced in your credit. Tuck was a member of one of the most fearsome defensive lines in the history of the Super Bowl and totaled four captures in two appearances in the Super Bowl, both victories for the giants.
Runner -up: James Harrison, Steelers; Mike Vrabel, Patriots
Interior defensive linguas: Aaron Donald, Rams; Chris JonesBosses
The best defensive player of his generation, Donald sealed a victory for the Rams in the LVI of the Super Bowl by pressing the Busings QB Joe Burrow in an incomplete in the final defensive game of the Los Angeles game, pointing to his finger and saying “Cancel” After the great play. Donald ended with two catches in the game. Jones has been the most dominant player for the Group of the DC Steve Spagnuolo, with 13 combined cups and 10 quarterback pressures in three appearances in the Super Bowl.
Runner -up: Casey Hampton, Steelers; Richard Seymour, Patriots

Supporters: Derrick Brooks, Bucaneros; Ray Lewis, Ravens; Bobby WagnerSeahawks
The defensive signal for the defense of the “Legion of Boom”, the Wagner brain scored 22 tacle combined in two appearances in the Super Bowl. Brooks was a fundamental player for one of the best defenses in the history of NFL with Tampa Bay. And Lewis was the centerpiece of Baltimore’s defense tacaña, ending with five combined cups and four passes ruptures to win the honors of MVP in the Super Bowl 35.
Runner -up: Tedy Bruschi, Patriots; Nate Bolton, bosses; Dan Morgan, Panthers
Safeties: Rodney Harrison, Patriots; Ed Reed, Ravens
Harrison has the greatest amount of tacle of any player in the history of the Super Bowl with 34 in four appearances. The overwhelming security also has two captures and two interceptions. Reed served as a central gardener for one of the most dominant defenses in the history of the League, ending with five combined cups and an interception in Baltimore’s victory over San Francisco in the Super Bowl 42.
Runner -up; Dwight Smith, Buccaneers; Logan Ryan, Patriots
Corner corners: Ty Law, Patriots; Malcolm Butler, Patriots
A gaming corner at the defensive rear for New England, Law had 12 tacle in total, two pass ruptures and an interception returned 47 yards for a score in three Super Bowl games. Butler is responsible for one of the most famous plays in the history of Super Bowl, at the head of the Ricardo Lockette receiver for an interception that saves the game on the goal line in New England’s victory over Seahawks.
Runner -up: Trent McDuffie, Chiefs; Duane Starks, crows
Kicker: Adam Winnieki, Patriots
If you are going to direct statistics, you can present a case for Harrison Butker, who is 9 of 10 in field goals in its four Super Bowls, while Vinatieri is 7 of 10 in its four games. But Vinatieri had two winning kicks in recent seconds, while Butker has one (with another to force extra time in an eventual victory). You can present a case for either, and Butker will have the opportunity to add to your case on Sunday.
Runner -up: Harrison Butker, Chiefs
Player: Johnny NestRams
The betting is the last type you want to see in the field in a Super Bowl, so it is a strange honor to deliver. Even so, congratulations to Hekker, who had 417 yards in nine clearing in the defeat of the Rams 13-3 against the Patriots, without touchbacks and only two yards back. He had six more clearing in the Victory of the Rams over the Bengals.
Runner -up: Tommy Towsend, Chiefs
Starting return: Devin Hester, Bears
There have been five touchdowns to return of Kickoff in the last 25 super bowls, but Hester’s reached the start of the opening against the colts in 2007, an electric beginning for the biggest game that exists. While we only have a runner -up, we will launch a mention here to Percy Harvin, one nearby third:
Runner -up: Jacoby Jones, Ravens
Clearance return: Kadarius ToneyBosses
There are almost not many big plays in the clearing returns in Super Bowls since 2000, but none was larger than the return of 65 yards of Toney in the fourth quarter against the Eagles two years ago, establishing a score in an eventual victory. That is more yards on a single return than the totals of almost any of the Super Bowl in the last 25 years. Edelman had 69 yards in eight returns this century.
Runner -up: Jordan Norwood, Broncos
