Which Current NFL Teams Would Be Best on NFL Street?
NFL Street was most certainly a game of strategy and nuance, which I write about at great length here. But at the end of the day; your best bet was choosing a combination of players who could run the fastest, jump the highest and hit the hardest. So today we’re going to rank the 32 NFL teams according to who would excel best in this style of gameplay.
The game format is 7 on 7 with no substitutions for offense or defense.
*For purposes of this list, all current injuries are nonexistent
32. San Francisco 49ers
QB/LB: Jimmy Garoppolo
RB/LB: Matt Breida
WR/S: George Kittle
WR/CB: Marquise Goodwin
DL/OT: Joe Staley
DL/OT: Deforest Buckner
CB/C: Jimmie Ward
I like Matt Breida’s elusiveness at RB, Kittle’s size at receiver and range at safety, and Buckner’s athleticism on the line; outside of that I kinda hate this team. Goodwin’s speed would be an interesting wild card, but it takes really accurate QB’s to take advantage of receivers who get separation on the game and Jimmy Garoppolo has yet to prove he is one.
31. Detroit Lions
QB/LB: Matthew Stafford
RB/LB: Kerryon Johnson
WR/CB: Marvin Jones
WR/S: Kenny Golladay
DL/OT: Damon Harrison Sr
DL/OT: Ezekiel Ansah
CB/C: Darius Slay Jr
Matthew Stafford’s arm strength intrigues me on this game and we’ve seen Kenny Golladay lay a man out in real life with perfect technique so I imagine he’d translate as a serviceable safety on NFL Street. Kerryon Johnson has some tackle breaking ability and Snacks Harrison would be unblockable as a run defender, but ultimately the sum of the Lions parts would be inferior to the vast majority of the teams in this game. There isn’t really one area of the game where you could count on them dominating.
30. New York Jets
QB/LB: Sam Darnold
RB/DL: Isaiah Crowell
WR/CB: Robby Anderson
DL/OT: Leonard Williams
LB/OT: Avery Williamson
CB/WR: Trumaine Johnson
S/C: Jamal Adams
When I started this list I immediately pegged the New York Jets as the worst team for this game as they have probably the least dynamic group of offensive players in the NFL. But with Williams beasting on the interior, Williamson providing great coverage at LB, and Jamal Adams flying around the field I think they’d be a couple notches above the game’s worst teams off the strength of their athletic defense.
29. Oakland Raiders
QB/LB: Derek Carr
RB/LB: Marshawn Lynch
WR/CB: Jared Cook
OT/DL: Rodney Hudson
OT/DL: Kelechi Osemele
CB/WR: Gareon Conley
S/C: Karl Joseph
There are 2 things keeping the Raiders from being the worst team on this game. The first is Karl Joseph’s being one of the harder hitting safeties in the league. The second of course is the one and only Marshawn Lynch making for one of the most impossible backs to tackle in the game. I’d do a lot of running on offense with Hudson and Osemele blocking up front and I’d do a lot of roaming around with Karl on defense in hopes of forcing some fumbles.
28. Denver Broncos
QB/LB: Case Keenum
RB/CB: Phillip Lindsay
WR/S: Emmanuel Sanders
DL/C: Derek Wolfe
DL/OT: Bradley Chubb
LB/OT: Von Miller
CB/WR: Chris Harris Jr
They’re ranked at 29 but I could totally see them outplaying this ranking. My issue with them is their quarterback stinks as a passer and isn’t exceptionally mobile, and while Philip Lindsay has been one of the better running backs in the NFL this year, he’s another one of those guys who isn’t glaringly good at one thing in particular and the good folks at EA Sports could end up shafting him on his ratings as a result (much like they have in Madden where he’s currently an 84 overall).
Same thing with Chris Harris Jr on defense. One of the best corners in the NFL in real life, but standing at 5 foot 10 with an average vertical and declining speed; i could see him also being rendered as a mere average player. The one sure thing they’ve got going for them is Von Miller and Bradley Chubb getting after the passer.
27. Arizona Cardinals
QB/DL: Josh Rosen
RB/S: David Johnson
WR/CB: Larry Fitzgerald
DL/OT: Chandler Jones
LB/OT: Haason Reddick
LB/C: Deone Buchanon
CB/WR: Patrick Peterson
I love the athleticism the Cardinals defense would provide in this game. Haason Reddick and Deone Buchanon haven’t panned out to be but so good in real life, but their hit power and speed respective to their positions would make them real problems on NFL Street. Patrick Peterson would be one of the game’s best two way players; intercepting every overthrow on defense and being a dog at receiver on offense.
26. Washington
QB/LB: Alex Smith
RB/CB: Derrius Guice
DL/OT: Jonathan Allen
DL/OT: Ryan Kerrigan
LB/C: D.J. Swearinger
CB/WR: Josh Norman
S/WR: Ha-Ha Clinton Dix
D.J. Swearinger man. He was built for this game. He’s a great safety in real life but in NFL Street I like him as a linebacker who can force plenty of fumbles and be elite in coverage for his position. And then you’ve got Ha-Ha posted up playing centerfield with Norman using his size outside. Washington’s secondary is what separates them from the games more inferior teams.
Also in a universe where injuries are nonexistent you’ve got Alex Smith presenting a decent threat as a runner and you’ve got Derrius Guice showing off his strength along with a little wiggle at RB. Don’t love this team but I don’t hate them either.
25. Miami Dolphins
QB/LB: Ryan Tannehill
RB/LB: Kenyan Drake
WR/CB: DeVante Parker
OT/DL: Laremy Tunsil
DL/OT: Cameron Wake
CB/WR: Xavien Howard
S/C: Reshad Jones
Having a versatile safety who can cover and lay wood is extremely important in NFL Street and the Dolphins have just that in Reshad Jones. You pair him with the lengthy Xavien Howard in the secondary and Cameron Wake rushing up front and you’ve got a tough group to pass the ball on. DeVante Parker isn’t the greatest receiver in real life but he stands at 6 foot 3 and can jump out of the gym so he makes for a matchup nightmare in NFL Street. Add in Tannehill’s scrambling ability and Drake’s ability to run through contact and the Dolphins are quietly a solid team for NFL Street.
24. Philadelphia Eagles
QB/LB: Carson Wentz
RB/CB: Golden Tate
WR/CB: Zach Ertz
OT/DL: Jason Kelce
DL/OT: Fletcher Cox
LB/C: Brandon Graham
S/WR: Malcolm Jenkins
This is a team I struggle to see how they’d translate in NFL Street. I could see them totally outplaying this ranking and I can also see them being worse than this ranking. It’d depend greatly on how mobile the game makes Carson Wentz and how much the game respects Golden Tate’s ability to make people miss. Wentz isn’t glaringly fast or elusive so it could get passed over and Tate isn’t exceptionally fast or strong so his attributes might not be up to snuff either. Their calling card would be having Cox up front and Brandon Graham blitzing from linebacker.
23. Indianapolis Colts
QB/LB: Andrew Luck
RB/CB: Marlon Mack
WR/CB: T.Y. Hilton
OT/DL: Quenton Nelson
DL/OT: Jabaal Sheard
LB/C: Darius Leonard
S/WR: Malik Hooker
I like T.Y. Hilton in real life, don’t really care much for him on this game. When people think about the Indianapolis Colts he and Andrew Luck are the first names that come to mind, but I think it’s the Colts defenders that would make them a solid team in NFL Street.
There’s literally nothing Darius Leonard can’t do at linebacker and having a dominant linebacker is a huge plus in this game. In the secondary you’ve got Malik Hooker being rangy and cutting in front of receivers on under thrown passes in addition to Jabaal Sheard being an above average pass rusher up front. Also with how athletic Quenton Nelson is I imagine he’d be great two-way player and could be a menace as a linemen against blockers that aren’t actually offensive linemen.
22. Buffalo Bills
QB/LB: Josh Allen
RB/CB: LeSean McCoy
WR/LB: Charles Clay
DL/OT: Jerry Hughes
DL/OT: Lorenzo Alexander
CB/WR: Tre’Davious White
S/WR: Micah Hyde
Josh Allen might be one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL in real life, but with his running skills he’d be an absolute menace in NFL Street. The Bills are short on receivers but Clay is a pretty good blocker and should be able to pancake DB’s on the outside while Josh and LeSean are toting the rock. Between Allen and McCoy in the run game and Hughes and Alexander’s pass rushing prowess, the Buffalo Bills would be a solid team in the NFL Street universe.
21. Tennessee Titans
QB/LB: Marcus Mariota
RB/LB: Derrick Henry
WR/CB: Delanie Walker
OT/DL: Taylor Lewan
DL/OT: Jurrell Casey
CB/WR: Adoree Jackson
S/C: Kevin Byard
The Titans have several players whose skillsets make them far better in NFL Street than in real life, starting with Marcus Mariota. His mobility and elusiveness as a runner makes him one of the more quietly dangerous quarterback options in the game. Dion Lewis is better in real life than Derrick Henry is, but Henry’s size and tackle breaking ability make him the superior option at running back in NFL Street and probably one of the better backs in the game.
With a run first offense you opt for Delanie Walker over Corey Davis for better blocking as well as Taylor Lewan over whatever 7th player you’d want in the lineup so he can help enforce the ground game as well. And in Adoree Jackson you have a guy whose shortcomings in coverage would be made up for by his speed and catching. Adoree probably ends up playing receiver about as well as any defensive back in the game.
20. Cleveland Browns
QB/LB: Baker Mayfield
RB/CB: Nick Chubb
WR/LB: David Njoku
OT/DL: Joel Bitonio
DL/OT: Myles Garrett
CB/C: Denzel Ward
S/WR: Jabrill Peppers
The first thing that came to mind for me when thinking of the Cleveland Browns in NFL Street was Jabrill Peppers. Peppers was a multi-positional force coming out of Michigan playing safety, linebacker, corner, running back, receiver and returner. I think he ends up being the biggest threat on offense out of all of the defensive players in this game.
I like the idea of a heavy run offense centered around read option with Mayfield and Chubb in the backfield. Mayfield’s one of the faster and more elusive quarterbacks in the league and Nick Chubb has quickly established himself as one of the league’s most talented runners. At receiver I had to choose between Jarvis Landry and David Njoku and I went ahead with Njoku because Landry isn’t thaat much faster than Njoku and Njoku makes for the better target in jump ball situations.
19. Cincinnati Bengals
QB/LB: Andy Dalton
RB/S: Joe Mixon
WR/CB: AJ Green
DL/OT: Geno Atkins
DL/C: Carlos Dunlap
LB/OT: Vontaze Burfict
CB/WR: William Jackson
I like the Bengals on this game. On offense you let the 6 foot 4 AJ Green moss DB’s as much as your heart desires and on defense you run around with Vontaze Burfict trying to take people’s heads off. In real life, Burfict’s overzealousness can be a hinderance to his team, but in NFL Street his thirst for blood makes him one of the games more dangerous defenders. Also, Atkins and Dunlap would make for one of the games better defensive lines.
18. Green Bay Packers
QB/LB: Aaron Rodgers
RB/LB: Aaron Jones
WR/CB: Davante Adams
WR/S: Jimmy Graham
DL/OT: Kenny Clark
DL/OT: Mike Daniels
CB/C: Jaire Alexander
Another team who I’m not exactly sure how they’d fair in NFL Street. On offense you’ve got one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time in Aaron Rodgers, but honestly I’d be more intrigued by what Aaron Jones could do between the tackles in the running game. His hard-nose running style would probably translate well to NFL Street and then you have that Aaron Rodgers guy pick apart the defense on play action.
Adams and Graham are two guys who ideally should win a lot of jump balls, but Adams isn’t as respected as much as he should be and I could easily see the guys deciding the ratings saying Jimmy Graham is washed and making him an under average receiving threat. Idk man. Idk. I do know that Kenny Clark and Mike Daniels would wreck shop in the interior though, and that’s probably the Packers biggest asset in this game.
17. Minnesota Vikings
QB/DL: Kirk Cousins
RB/LB: Dalvin Cook
WR/CB: Stefon Diggs
WR/CB: Adam Thielen
DL/OT: Everson Griffen
LB/OT: Anthony Barr
S/C: Harrison Smith
I really struggled with whether I should have Xavier Rhodes in the lineup over one of the wide receivers, but when you’ve got a receiving corp as cold as Minnesota’s you have to keep Thielen and Diggs on the field. Thielen at 6 foot 2 makes for a pretty good jump ball target and would have one of the game’s highest catching ratings, making him cash money for short and intermediate routes. Diggs brings a lot of the same attributes to the table as Thielen and with Cousins’ lack of arm strength I’d do a lot of dink and dunking up and down the field while occasionally handing off to Dalvin Cook.
On defense the Vikings haven’t lived up to the hype in real life, but between Griffen, Barr and Smith you have 3 Pro Bowl talents to handle each level of the field and that’s more than enough to get you by in NFL Street.
16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
QB/LB: Jameis Winston
RB/CB: DeSean Jackson
WR/S: Mike Evans
WR/DL: OJ Howard
DL/OT: Gerald McCoy
LB/OT: LaVonte David
CB/C: Brent Grimes
First things first, Brent Grimes totally strikes me as one of those random players on the game who may not have the highest rating but would still be an unstoppable force. His vertical and his catching ability make him one of those guys where throwing his way is an automatic interception and that same vert and catching ability would also make him a legit receiving threat on offense. With Mike Evans and OJ Howard lined up outside you’ve got two strong 6 foot 5 who can outmuscle you for jump balls on offense and have some great potential to make in impact on defense.
15. Seattle Seahawks
QB/DL: Russell Wilson
RB/CB: Tyler Lockett
WR/CB: Doug Baldwin
DL/OT: Frank Clark
LB/OT: Bobby Wagner
LB/C: Mychal Kendricks
S/WR: Earl Thomas III
Back when the Legion of Boom was in their prime, the Seattle Seahawks were an absolute dream team for the NFL Street playing format. A dangerous running threat at QB, the best tackle breaker in the NFL with Marshawn Lynch at RB and a defense just filled with size and speed. Now? They’re pretty meh in comparison. But with Wilson’s legs, Lockett’s versatility, the athleticism at linebacker and Earl Thomas ballhawking in the secondary they’d still be a better team than most.
14. Dallas Cowboys
QB/LB: Dak Prescott
RB/S: Ezekiel Elliott
WR/CB: Amari Cooper
OT/DL: Tyron Smith
DL/OT: Demarcus Lawrence
LB/C: Leighton Vander Esch
CB/WR: Byron Jones
Travis Frederick is probably the best offensive linemen and maybe the best player on the Dallas Cowboys, but you opt for Tyron Smith instead because he’s an elite blocker in his own right and has the athleticism to make an impact as a defensive linemen. The Cowboys’ offense is a bit more top heavy so you opt for 5 players on that side of the ball and let D-Law dominate as a pass rusher, LVE stop the run and lock the middle of the field in zone coverage and Byron Jones use his size and athleticism to out-leap receivers for easy picks.
13. Pittsburgh Steelers
QB/LB: Ben Roethlisberger
RB/S: James Conner
WR/CB: Antonio Brown
WR/CB: Juju Smith-Schuster
OT/DL: David DeCastro
DL/OT: Cameron Hayward
LB/OT: Ryan Shazier
The Steelers defense isn’t nearly as amazing as it was back in 2004 when NFL Street 2 was released, so you go ahead and choose 5 offensive players. The tricky thing about NFL Street is if you want to make big plays in the passing game, you typically have to have guys who can dominate in jump ball situations. And while Antonio Brown is one of the best football players in real life, I fear his dominance wouldn’t translate as well to NFL Street. But you still can do far worse than he and Juju outside with Conner breaking tackles out of the backfield and I love Ryan Shazier (obviously with injuries being nonexistent) and the speed he provides at linebacker in this game.
12. Chicago Bears
QB/LB: Mitch Trubisky
RB/CB: Tarik Cohen
WR/LB: Allen Robinson
DL/OT: Akiem Hicks
DL/OT: Khalil Mack
CB/C: Kyle Fuller
S/WR: Eddie Jackson
A dominant defense can take you a long long way in NFL Street. On the first two NFL Streets; the Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers were impossible to score on and I think these Chicago Bears would be of the same lineage here. On offense my game plan would be doing a lot of running with Mitchell Trubisky. He’s one of the more elusive quarterbacks in football and NFL Street typically captures and even exaggerates the abilities of the leagues best running QB’s. Also, it was a tough choice between Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen, but I went with Cohen because I think he’d translate as the superior defensive player.
11. Atlanta Falcons
QB/LB: Matt Ryan
RB/DL: Devonta Freeman
WR/CB: Julio Jones
DL/OT: Grady Jarrett
LB/OT: Deion Jones
CB/WR: Desmond Trufant
S/C: Keanu Neal
They’d be one of the more balanced teams on the game as they check off a lot of the boxes you need to make an impact in NFL Street. An RB that’s elusive and can carry tacklers on his back? Check. A WR that can win the 50/50 ball and make things happen after the catch? Check? Defenders with a great combination of size and speed that allows them to cover multiple positions? Check. They’d be a great sleeper team to choose when you don’t want someone complaining about how overpowering your squad is.
10. New England Patriots
QB/LB: Tom Brady
RB/CB: James White
WR/DL: Rob Gronkowski
WR/S: Josh Gordon
OT/DL: Shaq Mason
DL/OT: Trey Flowers
CB/C: Stephon Gilmore
In a video game where there are no such things as injuries, Rob Gronkowski is one of the last men you want to run up against. He’s 6 foot 7 so you’re not beating him on a jump ball with Brady throwing it to him and with his size and strength he’d be a more than serviceable pass rusher on defense. And then with Josh Gordon you’re basically talking about a Gronk that’s 3 inches shorter but has the vert to make up the difference in height. If I have the Patriots in NFL Street I’m running nothing but wall fades until you prove your defensive backs can jump with my receivers.
9. Jacksonville Jaguars
QB/LB: Blake Bortles
RB/S: Leonard Fournette
DL/OT: Calais Campbell
DL/OT: Marcell Dareus
LB/C: Telvin Smith
CB/WR: Jalen Ramsey
CB/WR: AJ Bouye
As previously mentioned with the Chicago Bears, an elite defense can be impossible to beat on NFL Street and the Jaguars have just that (at least on NFL Street). Ramsey and Bouye are perfect for this game because they’re skilled enough to prevent receivers from getting separation and athletic enough to snag interceptions over your average receiver. And then on offense they both have the speed and the hands to be more than serviceable receivers, especially in a game where a lot of the guys lined up in the secondary are offensive players. You’d like to do better than Bortles at quarterback but he’s a very good runner and with him and Jamal Lewis 2.0 (in the NFL Street universe) in Leonard Fournette, the Jaguars would be a real problem with the read option.
8. Los Angeles Chargers
QB/LB: Philip Rivers
RB/LB: Melvin Gordon III
WR/CB: Keenan Allen
DL/OT: Joey Bosa
DL/OT: Melvin Ingram
CB/WR: Casey Hayward Jr
S/C: Derwin James
When I thought about NFL Street with current rosters one of the first players that came to mind was Derwin James. He’s the perfect defender for NFL Street. A hard hitter with great coverage skills and he can shed blocks about as well as any defensive back in the NFL. With him flying around the field, Hayward locking up at corner and Bosa and Ingram rushing the passer; the Chargers would have one of the game’s best defenses.
On offense I like Melvin Gordon’s potential as a guy who can rack up a lot of style points with his ability to make people miss or simply run through them. I don’t care much for Keenan Allen in this game as he’s one of those guys who isn’t extraordinarily good at one thing, but I imagine the game makes him a pretty all-around receiver and Rivers would have the accuracy to hit him when he’s open.
7. New Orleans Saints
QB/CB: Drew Brees
RB/CB: Alvin Kamara
WR/S: Michael Thomas
OT/DL: Terron Armstead
DL/OT: Cameron Jordan
LB/C: DeMario Davis
CB/WR: Marshon Lattimore
When I first started thinking about this list I figured the Saints could end up being the best team on the game. They didn’t end up ranking that high but they’d still be a better choice than most. Their calling card as a team is having 2 great running backs, but in NFL Street you can’t substitute so I went ahead with Kamara and hoped the game would capture his elusiveness.
The thing I like most about the Saints in this game is Terron Armstead. He’s far and away the most athletic offensive linemen in the NFL and would stonewall the pass rush on offense and make for a great interior defender on defense. With him and Jordan up front, Davis lurking around the middle of the field and Lattimore ballhawking outside; a defense that isn’t too hot in real life makes for a pretty scary group on NFL Street.
6. New York Giants
QB/LB: Eli Manning
RB/LB: Saquon Barkley
WR/S: Odell Beckham Jr
WR/CB: Sterling Shephard
DL/OT: Olivier Vernon
LB/OT: Landon Collins
CB/C: Janoris Jenkins
Odell Beckham Jr. would be the coldest WR on NFL Street and Saquon Barkley would be the coldest RB on NFL Street. The Giants would be an incredible team off the strength of those two alone, Eli’s ineptitude be damned. You throw it up to Odell and he’s an automatic deep gain, especially if you’re using wall catches. You hand if off to Saquon and he’s probably the hardest running back to tackle on the entire game. Vernon has the moves to get pressure on the quarterback, Collins would be one of the game’s hardest hitters and would have decent coverage ability to boot, and Jenkins has great ballhawk potential against the games more inaccurate QB’s.
5. Baltimore Ravens
QB/S: Lamar Jackson
RB/LB: Alex Collins
OT/DL: Marshal Yanda
DL/OT: Michael Pierce
LB/OT: C.J. Mosley
CB/WR: Marlon Humphrey
CB/WR: Jimmy Smith
If you played NFL Street you remember the cheat code Michael Vick was on the game (and in every other game at that time, as well as real life) and I think Lamar Jackson would be dominant in many of the same ways. Much like with Vick though, you’d have to make sure not to go OD on the running as thinner players are prone to fumble in the game after numerous carries. But luckily, Alex Collins is a tackle breaking machine and he can help even out the run game with Lamar.
On defense the Ravens have a strong run stuffer in Pierce, an athletic LB in Mosley and 2 corners with great size and coverage ability in Humphrey and Smith. They’d be a force to be reckoned with in the NFL Street universe.
4. Los Angeles Rams
QB/LB: Jared Goff
RB/LB: Todd Gurley II
DL/OT: Aaron Donald
DL/OT: Ndamukong Suh
CB/WR: Marcus Peters
CB/C: Aqib Talib
S/WR: Lamarcus Joyner
On offense the plan is simple: hand the ball off to Todd. The Rams have an amazing trio of WR’s, but when you have two corners with elite ball skills like Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib and a versatile safety who can lockdown the middle of the field like Lamarcus Joyner, you lean towards a defense-heavy team and hope their catching ability can make them decent receivers on the offensive side. And if you’re playing against Donald and Suh, you better have at least 2 great blockers on your team or you’ll struggle to move the ball an inch.
3. Houston Texans
QB/LB: Deshaun Watson
RB/LB: Lamar Miller
WR/CB: DeAndre Hopkins
DL/OT: JJ Watt
DL/OT: Jadeveon Clowney
CB/WR: Kareem Jackson
S/C: Justin Reid
Deshaun Watson is one of the fastest quarterbacks in the NFL and one of the most elusive open field runners at his position as well, you’d prefer to be with him than against him in NFL Street. Also, much like with Odell Beckham Jr, you aren’t going to do much winning in jump ball situations against DeAndre Hopkins. So between he and Watson you have more than enough going on offense to complement their hog maw of a defense.
I could see Watt and Clowney being an even more devastating line than Suh and Donald on NFL Street. The combination of strength and speed that both of those guys bring to the table is a nightmare in a game where people typically don’t prioritize offensive linemen and that same strength and speed can be the kyrptonite to some of the game’s more mobile quarterbacks.
2. Carolina Panthers
QB/DL: Cam Newton
RB/LB: Christian McCaffery
WR/CB: DJ Moore
WR/S: Devin Funchess
DL/OT: Dontari Poe
LB/OT: Luke Kuechly
CB/C: Donte Jackson
Cam Newton would be the most unstoppable force in the game. Running read option with he and Christian McCaffery in the backfield is a nightmare for even the most experienced of NFL Street players. DJ Moore and Funchess both have great vertical and ball skills. Moore would be a monster after the catch to all defensive backs with poor tackling ratings and Funchess has the strength and size to function as a decent safety on defense.
Elite linebackers are key in NFL Street and the Carolina Panthers would have one of the game’s best in Kuechly. He’d have the tackling rating to lay the wood, block shedding to be a menace on blitzes and the coverage to pick off inaccurate passes underneath. And while Dontari Poe may have not panned out into being the perennial Pro Bowl force many thought he’d be early in his career, his freakish strength and speed would make him one of the game’s best linemen.
- Kansas City Chiefs
QB/LB : Patrick Mahomes
RB/CB: Tyreek Hill
WR/CB: Sammy Watkins
WR/DL: Travis Kelce
DL/OT: Chris Jones
LB/OT: Justin Houston
S/C: Eric Berry
This article was inspired in part by Patrick Mahomes’ no-look pass last week against the Baltimore Ravens, so it’s only right that his team is number one. The most explosive offense in real life would also be the most explosive offense in NFL Street. Mahomes would be the gold standard for throwing power on the game, has the wheels to get you some yards on the ground and the size and athleticism to be a serviceable LB on defense. You’ve got Kelce at 6 foot 5 winning almost every jump ball outside and he has the perfect strength and speed to be a serviceable edge rusher on defense.
You’ve got Tyreek who’s got the strength and elusiveness to play running back and all the receiving skills to absolutely light up linebackers when he’s pass catching and he’s a great 2 way option as his speed alone would make him a pretty good cornerback on defense. Also while the Chiefs defense is putrid in real life, they’ve got enough blue chip players in Eric Berry, Justin Houston and Chris Jones to field an elite defense in NFL Street.
