Johnson Bademosi • CB/ST • New England Patriots • Sixth season • @J_Bademosi24
Bademosi played 11 defensive snaps and 19 special teams in Super Bowl LII. Bademosi got the nod over Malcolm Butler in the second half when New England altered its scheme, finishing the game with one special teams tackle.
Why did the Patriots go with Johnson Bademosi instead of Malcolm Butler when they made a switch in the second half?

Zach Ertz • TE • Philadelphia Eagles • Fifth season • @ZErtz_86
Ertz capped his career year by cementing himself in Philadelphia lore, catching Super Bowl LII's winning touchdown on third-and-7 with just over two minutes to play. Ertz finished the game with seven catches for 67 yards on nine targets, helping the Eagles win their first Super Bowl and first league title since 1960. Ertz was excellent all season, reaching 1,000 receiving yards in the Super Bowl while earning his first Pro Bowl berth, and is under contract in Philadelphia for three more lucrative years.

Cameron Fleming • TE • New England Patriots • Fourth season • @cammyjfresh
Fleming played every snap at right tackle in the 41-33 loss, allowing three pressures and one quarterback hit on 50 dropbacks. Fleming and the Patriots' offensive protected Tom Brady enough to net 505 passing yards in the loss. Fleming will likely earn a multi-year deal when he becomes an unrestricted free agent on March 14.
