00:00All right, welcome back to Super Bowl 59. Adam Kaplan here for sports grid with
00:05Bryce Butler a former NFL receiver for the Raiders and Cowboys and a guy who studies that receiver position
00:11So right, so we might as well get into it, right?
00:13Okay, you've the Chiefs are loaded at receiver, but it's more of a dink and dunk not a lot of downfield passing Philly
00:20They'll have some downfield passing with AJ Brown specifically. So let's talk about the receivers
00:25What do you think about this group and for both teams?
00:27I mean, obviously the Eagles have more talent at receiver. Um, they got AJ Brown. They got Devontae Smith
00:33They got Dallas Goddard and then you go to the Chiefs. I mean really obviously you have DeAndre Hopkins
00:39You have Juju Smith Schuster's right, but those guys aren't really involved that much in the office
00:43Obviously you have Travis Kelsey who is a guy that's been that guy for since I was playing in league since 2013
00:50But he's not the same Travis Kelsey of old
00:53So obviously he's still caught 90-something balls this year, but it's not the same type of catches
00:58But he's one of those guys that you always have to think about. So I mean
01:02If I had to pick I would say the Eagles have a better receiver core as far as like young guys talented like at their peak
01:10But the Chiefs have guys like DeAndre Hopkins and Travis Kelsey who are veterans that have done it at a high level
01:18Obviously Travis Kelsey has won three Super Bowls already. I mean two to three has he won two or three?
01:23He's won three. He's probably won three, but they're going for three in a row. They're going for three in a row
01:26So obviously this is his fifth Super Bowl he's playing in. So I mean the Chiefs have probably a little bit more of the experience
01:32With Juju and Travis, but I mean AJ Brown, Devontae Smith are tough. What makes AJ Brown so great?
01:39Well, first and foremost if you haven't seen that guy in person, he is huge. He's not tall, but he's not super tall
01:46He's maybe six one and a half, six two, but he is
01:49Big I remember when him DK Metcalf
01:53Jonathan Taylor and Max Crosby all those guys were training with me in Phoenix when they were coming out to be rookies
01:58Yeah, like I thought that AJ Brown and DK were defensive ends
02:05Hey, my name is Bryce, what's up? Yeah position play up a DN and they were like what we pay receiver and I was like
02:13This point and these guys are huge I was like what I do wrong
02:16But yeah, I mean AJ Brown's a big dude
02:19He has a knack for the ball. He's gonna go get the ball. He can get yak yards
02:24So that I mean that separates him. He's speed. He's tall. He's big. He's fast and he can go make the 50-50 ball
02:30All right ball game on Sunday break it down for us. Who do you like? I
02:34mean, I
02:35Think on paper, I think the Eagles have a better team better roster. Yeah, but I mean at the end of the day
02:42You know, they're going up against
02:44experience
02:46That is just I think it's just tough to overcome unless they just go out there and do it
02:51I mean you got Pat Mahomes. Yeah, got Chuck Travis Kelsey. You got Andy Reed. You got Steve Spagnola
02:57I mean these this that for that foursome right there is
03:02Very tough to beat. There's only been two quarterbacks
03:06That took those guys down and it was Tom Brady twice and Joe Burrow once
03:12Can Jalen Hurst do it obviously this is probably a big revenge game for them because they say pretty much the same team
03:17He played great. He just had the fumble played a great game. Yep
03:20So I'm sure that you know Jalen Hurst probably say that to the game watching the trophy
03:25Presentation back in Arizona a couple years ago about it. Yeah, he hasn't forgotten about it
03:28Oh, what up, bro, and he'll be ready to go
03:30So, I mean, but it's hard to bet against that small this guy knows 32 knows. Yes, sir
03:35Mark, you know what that's it. Well, that's Marcus. I'll see great. Yes, sir. All right. Well Bryce
03:40We'll see what happens on Sunday, but you you fit you you're leaning towards the experience of the Chiefs. Am I correct 100%?
03:45All right for Bryce Butler. I'm Adam Kaplan
