Optimum Performance: Two key players to watch in Super Bowl 52

With Super Bowl 52 in Minneapolis upon us, I've selected one offensive player from both the AFC Champion New England Patriots and their NFC rival Philadelphia Eagles to keep your eyes on. Both players - Patriots' All-Pro tight end Ron Gronkowski and Eagles running back Jay Ajayi - are coming off injuries.

But, at this point, it's an all hands-on deck mentality.

Gronkowski returned to practice last Saturday, six days after sustaining a concussion against the Jaguars in the AFC Championship game. Without a doubt, # 87 is a big part of Pats' QB Tom Brady's weapons system.
