Super Bowl XLIX X-factors Kam Chancellor and Julian Edelman

With fast approaching, we've heard plenty about , , , and . But what about the under-the-radar guys who have a chance Yogi Berra Jersey to determine the outcome of this game?Below are six X-factor players -- three for the , three for the -- I'll be monitoring as the battle for the Lombardi Trophy wears on.Seattle Seahawks1) , SSEvery defensive game plan against the identifies slowing down as priority No. 1. The tight end is the biggest mismatch player in the NFL, thanks to his combination of size (6-foot-6, 265 pounds), strength, quickne s and ball skills. Fortunately for the , Seattle might have . Chancellor has both the size and athletic ability to maintain position against the talented pa s catcher. Gronk is going to make some plays in the game, but if Chancellor can keep him out of the end zone, the should be in good shape.2) , WR thrives on broken plays, and Baldwin is often the beneficiary of the extra time bought by the signal-caller. Baldwin excels at finding open space during the scramble drill and producing huge chunk plays. He doesn't need to catch eight balls Luis Severino Jersey ; he can do his damage with one or two big gains. And such opportunities are likely to come, given the way he can improvise while Wilson eludes the pa s rush.3) , MLBWagner is one of the most complete linebackers in the NFL. He has the strength, instincts and quickne s to dominate as a run defender, and he's athletic enough to match up with running backs and tight ends in man coverage. He will be challenged by two very different New England running backs in this game. is a big, physical downhill runner, while is an elusive weapon in the pa sing game. Not many linebackers po se s the skill set to handle these vastly different styles, but Wagner should be just fine.New England Patriots1) , WR/PRIt seems like Edelman -- who New York Yankees Jersey has been incredibly productive over the last few years -- never gets the credit he deserves. He is one of the toughest covers in the slot, what with his short-area quickne s and toughne s. His ability to uncover quickly will be a huge a set when it comes to combatting Seattle's pa s rush. The are one of the best tackling teams in the league, but Edelman specializes in making defenders mi s in space. His ability to flip field position Clint Frazier Jersey as a punt returner should also be a huge key in this game.2) , RBI don't think the can capture the Lombardi Trophy with a pa s-happy approach. They need to control the line of scrimmage, win field position and convert on third down -- and Blount can help accomplish all three goals. He is outstanding in short-yardage situations, and his physical running style could wear Joe DiMaggio Jersey down the Seattle front late in the game. If Blount gets over 25 carries, New England will be sitting pretty.3) , DEJones has two important tasks: set the edge against the run, and don't let Wilson control the game with his legs. The will feed the ball early and often, and Jones needs to use his length to keep blockers off his chest and hold the point of attack. He also will need to be disciplined with his a signment and technique when Seattle runs the zone-read. Finally, Jones cannot get caught upfield on pa sing plays, which would allow Wilson to pick up free yardage as a runner. Follow Daniel Jeremiah on Twitter .
