Most underrated NFL player

BadBoyBenny · #1 10-30-2006, 08:38 PM

Since we have all the Best 10 and HOF threads going...

Here are the rules -

No Quarterbacks
No player from your favorite team
Recent production should be more important, I am not looking for the most underrated careers.

My first thoughts

Vince Wilfork
Adalius Thomas
Tommie Harris
Wes Welker
Chris Samuels
Jammal Williams

Hard to agree to the 10th highest paid WR in football, might have agreed last year though. Of course that's just recognition from Indy, if you mean nationwide maybe, but it's a week maybe.

The first thought off my head was a bunch of safeties that don't get much credit. Someone liek Darius isn't the best...but I'd say he is really underrated for what he brings.

Pretty much any good offensive lineman or defensive tackle - you have a good list to start off. Out of the top 20 most valuable players, probably 10-15 should be OL/DL. The problem is that without watching real game film for lots of hours, it's hard/impossible to see for yourself who the dominant linemen are.
Wes Welker? I dunno, even if he is good, and we never get Dolphins games (who does these days?) so I wouldn't know, the Dolphins O is really bad.

TJ Houshmandzadeh. Maybe not so much anymore, but Chad Johnson gets all the attention on this team

Good rules. I agree w/ Haji that lineman should dominate any good list. Jammal Williams sounds as good as anyone off the top of my head.

I don't like the no favorite team rule. If you watch a team all the time and know about a guy that doesn't get any press you ought to let us know about him.
