For Super Bowl 60, NFL experts Sean Koerner, Chris Raybon and Gilles Gallant dropped their three picks for DraftKings' King of the End Zone promotion.
For those unfamiliar with the promotion, you're essentially picking the player you think will have the longest touchdown in the Super Bowl between the Seahawks and Patriots. If that player hits, you get a share of the $4 million pot with other contestants who made the same pick.

King of the End Zone Super Bowl Touchdown Picks
- Rashid Shaheed Longest Touchdown
- Kyle Williams Longest Touchdown
- TreVeyon Henderson Longest Touchdown
Rashid Shaheed Longest Touchdown
This is the chalkiest pick of the three, but I like Rashid Shaheed for this promo.
He functions as the Seahawks' return specialist and deep threat and he's going up against a Patriots special teams unit that was 20th in DVOA.
Shaheed already won King of the End Zone in the Divisional Round because of his 100-yard return TD against the 49ers. I think the Seahawks defense will make the Patriots have to punt a bit more than usual, which would give Shaheed more opportunities.
He could also find himself facing single-coverage for a deep TD if the Patriots continue to run a lot of man coverage and sell out to stop Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
In two playoff games, Shaheed leads the Seahawks in aDOT while also having some carries out of the backfield.
He is the one player in this game with the most outs for a long touchdown.
Kyle Williams Anytime Touchdown Scorer
By Sean Koerner
Anytime I'm in a situation like this where I have to risk nothing, and it's nothing but gain, I'm going to go the craziest route possible for the most upside.
I think Patriots WR Kyle Williams is a good blend of that because he's obviously a long shot to score in this game. He's 13-to-1 to score, which I'm in line with.
There are typically going to be longer touchdowns. His three touchdowns this year were 72, 37 and 33 yards, so he's typically just getting downfield shots from Drake Maye. Maybe he catches the Seahawks defense off guard.
If Williams hits another home run TD, you likely don’t have to share the pot with too many people.
In situations like these, go for the upside.
TreVeyon Henderson Anytime Touchdown Scorer
By Chris Raybon
TreVeyon Henderson is my pick for the longest touchdown.
We don't know how much he's going to play, but he is the quintessential guy who you would expect in this game to score long touchdowns. Blazing speed, carries out of the backfield, can catch the ball, and the Pats can design screens for him.
Even if he only plays like another four snaps on offense, an underrated way that Henderson can break for a TD is returning kicks. He has done it this year.
Now it's a Super Bowl. Would you rather have D'Ernest Johnson or TreVeyon Henderson returning your kicks if you're not even going to play Henderson that much in the backfield?
