Super Bowl 53: 20 Potential MVPs for Patriots vs. Rams
By Dan Parzych
16. Josh Reynolds
First off, let the record show that if Cooper Kupp were healthy to play in the Super Bowl, there’s a good chance he would be in this spot over Josh Reynolds.
The loss of Kupp to a torn ACL was a crushing blow for Los Angeles after seeing how much of an impact he’s made in such a short period of time as a reliable No. 3 option for Goff to work with in the passing game, but at least Reynolds has helped fill the void.
As Rams fans remember, Reynolds was the other receiver selected in the draft along with Kupp back in 2017 to provide a much-needed boost to a receiving corps that was an absolute joke the year before.
Over the last two years, Reynolds has come up big for Los Angeles on numerous occasions when needed, as he always seems to take advantage of the playing time when given the opportunity.
Reynolds never really saw the field that much when Kupp was healthy, but now that’s the clear No. 3 option at receiver until his teammate returns, it’s time for the former Texas A&M star to show off his skills when it matters the most in the Super Bowl.
Winning MVP may sound like a stretch, but also keep in mind that Reynolds could benefit from the Patriots focusing most of their attention on the whereabouts of Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods in the passing game.
