Your Team's Most Underrated Player(s)

Recommended Posts

:Vikings:

 

Adam Thielen, WR. Height, 4.4 speed, great routes, and great hands. This guy has become our prototypical #1 Receiver.

 

Jerick McKinnon, RB. At some point this guy will break out when used properly, but I doubt it'll be with the Vikings

 

Everson Griffin, DE. People know he's good. They don't know he's the best DE in the division, and the best pass rusher.

 

Anthony Barr, LB. His stats are scarce but misleading. Teams avoid him at all costs, and he has a knack for key stops. He's in the same boat as Griffin, looked at as solid but he's so much more.

I would take Ansah over Griffin. Daniels is right up there too but hard to say due to scheme differences. As for Green Bay's underrated:

 

Morgan Burnett: People know Ha Ha and Josh Jones looks fairly good and is getting a lot of attention after Sunday's game but a lot of people seem to forget about Burnett. He is moved all around the defense and is easily the most versatile player on the defense. He plays SS, ILB, and slot CB. This last week, there were 4 safeties on the field for the majority of the game with Morgan Burnett sliding into the slot so Jones could play at ILB more. He seems to be around the football nearly every play and has no problem matching up with whoever we need.

 

Mason Crosby: He flies under the radar when people talk about kickers. He's no Tucker but has been fairly consistent and good for the Packers since his horrible season in 2012 in which he was almost cut. He's the leading Packers scorer and holds the record for most consecutive FGs made in the playoffs. He came up clutch for us last year against Dallas.

 

Corey Linsley: Another midround o-lineman that Thompson hit on. 5th round pick that was thrust into starting center week 1 against the Seahawks 3 years ago with only 1 week of practice and has quietly been solid for the Packers since. Has struggled with a couple injuries here and there that have limited him but when healthy he is solid in both pass and run blocking. Key free agent to re-sign for the Packers this offseason.

Jordan Hicks- At this point he is one of the best ILB's in the game. He's all over the field. Football IQ through the roof and I'd say he's one of the best coverage LB's in the game up there with Kuechley.

 

Malcolm Jenkins- He's usually not mentioned amongst the top safeties in the league but he absolutely is. Another guy with an insane football IQ. He's not the greatest athlete in the game but man he just always seems to be in the right spot at the right time and because of that he comes up with a lot of big plays.

If Shazier ever manages to stay healthy, he will be seen as one of the best LB's in the game, inside or outside.

Jimmy Smith is in that boat. If he could put a few full seasons together we are talking about a top 5 corner.

Todd Davis is doing a good job, still an ace on special teams, but he's filling in better as an inside linebacker with Brandon Marshall.

 

Most of the other names have been heard before, but I'm really liking what Bolles is doing, FB's are always underrated so mentioning Janovich isn't really doing anyone any favours.

Kevin Byard. Our free safety. He's a baller and flies to the ball. I think he will be a pro bowl safety in a year or 2
