With training camps and preseason drawing nearer, it\u2019s been interesting to see which team is considered to have a top-tier wide receiver trio. We\u2019ll start on a new slate for 2020 and look at every team\u2019s top three receivers. Regardless of their length of time with the team, how they fit into the system is a factor. In no order, here are the five best wide receiver trios in the NFL &#8211; currently.<\/p>\n<h2>Top Five Wide Receiver Trios in the NFL<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/chiefs\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> \u2013 Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, Mecole Hardman<\/h3>\n<p>The Kansas City Chiefs have one of the fastest receiver trios in the league. This team likes fast plays and they\u2019ve chosen the right guys who are, well, fast. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HillTy00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tyreek Hill<\/a>\u2019<\/strong>s lightning speed is evident in every game. His speed isn\u2019t his only asset. He\u2019s largely considered one of the best all-rounders. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WatkSa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sammy Watkins<\/a> <\/strong>showed up big in the Super Bowl, and he\u2019ll hopefully show that same talent this season. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HardMe00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mecole Hardman<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s stats are impressive. Last year &#8211; over 20 yards per catch and six touchdowns.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/broncos\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Denver Broncos<\/a> \u2013 Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler<\/h3>\n<p>Big things are expected of this trio. In fact, <strong>Sayre Bedinger<\/strong> of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.predominantlyorange.com\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Predominantly Orange<\/a> believes they could be the best trio by the end of the year. He also feels they are the best trio 25-and-under. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/S\/SuttCo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Courtland Sutton<\/a><\/strong> shone in recent times and is one of the best young receivers in currently. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2020\/03\/08\/jerry-jeudy-2020-nfl-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Jerry Jeudy<\/strong><\/a> was highly regarded in the leadup to the Draft. Both he and <strong>K.J. Hamler<\/strong> have a lot to offer in terms of speed. Hamler is especially known for it. Jeudy is a remarkable route runner. They\u2019re ready to play at a high level.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/cowboys\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dallas Cowboys<\/a> \u2013 Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, CeeDee Lamb<\/h3>\n<p>Some have ventured so far as to label these three as the best right now &#8211; but they\u2019ll have to work to prove them right. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CoopAm00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amari Cooper<\/a> <\/strong>was traded by the <a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/cowboys\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oakland Raiders<\/a> but will no doubt be a consistent playmaker for the Cowboys. He\u2019ll likely be worth every cent of that monster contract with Dallas. Last season, he tallied over 1,500 yards and eight touchdowns. Meanwhile, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/G\/GallMi00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Gallup<\/a> <\/strong>had a productive season, catching 66 passes for over 1,000 yards and six touchdowns. The Cowboys drafted <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2020\/02\/06\/ceedee-lamb-2020-nfl-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>CeeDee Lamb<\/strong><\/a>, much to the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2020\/04\/15\/denver-broncos-denzel-mims-ceedee-lamb\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">envy of many teams<\/a>. He\u2019s the most physical after a catch, while Cooper is well-rounded.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/buccaneers\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> \u2013 Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Tyler Johnson<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=EvanMi00,EvanMi20,EvanMi21&amp;search=Mike+Evans&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mike Evans<\/a><\/strong> carries this trio. In his six professional seasons, he hasn\u2019t missed 1,000 yards. And that\u2019s despite playing just 13 games last season. With 48 touchdown grabs, he has made a name for himself as an elite WR1. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/G\/GodwCh00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Godwin<\/a><\/strong> made a huge impact with 16 touchdowns in two seasons, and 86 receptions for 1,333 yards last year. Evans and Godwin make a formidable duo but it\u2019s believed rookie <strong>Tyler Johnson<\/strong> will fit perfectly into a slot role in a pass-heavy attack.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/cardinals\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arizona Cardinals<\/a> \u2013 DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk<\/h3>\n<p>They could easily become the best receivers in the game this season. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HopkDe00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DeAndre Hopkins<\/a> <\/strong>has the ability to dominate regardless of the type of coverage he\u2019s faced with. Veteran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/F\/FitzLa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Larry Fitzgerald<\/strong><\/a> is as savvy as they come. Complete the trifecta with the young<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/K\/KirkCh01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong> Christian Kirk<\/strong><\/a> and they will be a threat to defenses everywhere. These three are versatile and speedy, with enough skills to beat an offense in so many ways.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"YmGyBkcXQ_BnqzhKjvaaVw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1034480414\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'YmGyBkcXQ_BnqzhKjvaaVw',sig:'8Ym9ZxGO2hSnL3x8W70-IrLOpXLTdMsOSZB73z0omOs=',w:'594px',h:'349px',items:'1034480414',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 best receiver trios in the NFL; taking every team&#8217;s top three receivers, who are the NFL&#8217;s best five wide receiver trios?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2583,"featured_media":90229,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"1","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[54,33,19,15,16,36,6431,29],"tags":[489,279,49,266,61,122,984,40,308,297],"class_list":["post-90189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editorials","category-cardinals","category-cowboys","category-broncos","category-chiefs","category-nfl-news","category-nfl-teams","category-buccaneers","tag-amari-cooper","tag-arizona-cardinals","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-denver-broncos","tag-football","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-mike-evans","tag-nfl","tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-tyreek-hill"],"modified_by":"John Bava","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2583"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
