14. Ja'Marr Chase...Signature stat: Chase's 1,455 receiving yards were the most by a rookie since the Super Bowl era began in 1966. During last year's postseason run to the Super Bowl, Chase also became the first rookie in NFL history to record multiple 100-yard receiving games in a postseason. He also had an NFL-best five TD catches on passes thrown 30-plus yards downfield in 2021.
26. Joe Burrow...Signature stat: Burrow led the NFL in completion percentage (70.4%) and yards per attempt (8.9) despite playing behind an offensive line that finished 30th in pass block win rate. In addition, Burrow's deep ball was dangerous in 2021 as he had an NFL-high seven touchdowns on passes at least 30 yards downfield, and his eight touchdown passes on fade routes were tied for most in the NFL
72. Trey Hendrickson...Signature stat: Hendrickson and T.J. Watt are the only NFL players with 13.0 sacks or more in each of the past two seasons.

84. Tee Higgins...Signature stat: Higgins led all receivers with 100 yards and two touchdowns in Super Bowl LVI, becoming just the third player since 1997 to have 100 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a Super Bowl (Larry Fitzgerald in 2008, Rob Gronkowski in 2017).
93. Jessie Bates...Signature stat: Over the past two seasons, Bates has the fourth-ranked targeted EPA among safeties with at least 500 coverage snaps (minus-15.4). He ranked first among safeties in targeted EPA in 2020 (minus-23.9).
