Grady Jarrett always seems underrated. A two-time Pro Bowler and the team’s best defender, Jarrett has missed just three games over six NFL seasons and is already 11th in Falcons history in sacks. He’s great, but recognition for that greatness has taken time to arrive outside of this fanbase.
The longer he plays, though, the more his reputation catches up with his play. Unfortunately, the longer he plays, the more his team’s fortunes also end up hurting his cause, because the Falcons are a bad team with a bad defense and players who play on bad teams with bad defenses tend to struggle to earn recognition unless their production is transcendent.
