Here’s a joke you can tell some of your buddies the next time you guys are hanging out. What does 633 career tackles, 17.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, seven interceptions, and two interceptions get you if you’re an NFL linebacker? In the case of the Philadelphia Eagles‘ Zach Brown, it might get you thrown into the category of underrated.
Okay, maybe that’s not really that funny after all, but that’s some of the conversation surrounding the former second-round selection these days. Recently, Michael Renner of Pro Football Focus named the most underrated player at every position, and Brown found his way onto the list.
