From linemen to linebackers to depth receivers, here is one player on every team that doesn’t get as much credit as they deserve.
What makes a player underrated? If you ask players, they’re likely to say it’s a media-driven conversation; that we are the ones who control nebulous topics with weighty words like “best” and “worst.” If you ask GMs, one would imagine it’s a financial conversation. Who are they getting the most out of, versus how much they are shelling out for the privilege? If you ask fans, they’re likely to say a person they appreciate on a weekly basis but do not hear much about from sports outlets that don’t exclusively cater to their local market.
