Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill gave a nod to his "Cheetah" nickname by showing up to the Super Bowl in a cheetah print shirt.

The 26-year-old has used the nickname "cheetah" throughout his whole football career due to his incredible speed, even using it as his Twitter handle.

In 2013, Hill ran a wind-assisted 100 metres in just 9.98 seconds, while in 2019, he was clocked running at 22.6 mph during a 91-yard touchdown run versus the Minnesota Vikings.

"The crew is all here," the Chiefs tweeted on Sunday alongside photos Hill and some of his teammates arriving to the Raymond James Stadium, where they will face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Hill recently outlined how he believes the Chiefs will beat the Bucs on Sunday, saying his side have three "keys to victory."

"First, let's play well up front - both sides of the ball," said Hill during his pre-game media availability earlier in the week, as reported by the Daily Mirror.

"Whether that's the offensive line protecting Pat or the defensive line affecting Tom Brady.

"The second key to the game is that we've got to score on special teams. We've got to get Byron Pringle in the end zone or we've got to create some crazy turnover and score.

"And then three, we have to play as a team, play together, no egos involved. We just go out there, play hard and let Pat control this s**t because obviously he's the captain of the Magic School Bus, so we just let Pat do his thing.

"That's Tyreek Hill's three keys to victory."
