Hey everyone. Just wanted to see what names we could come up with as far as underrated or under appreciated players in the NFL. I'll start it off:

Maurice Jones Drew - This guy is better at being Reggie Bush than Reggie Bush himself. Fast, quick, tremendous speed burst, small, and built like a rock, can run over guys too. He's been a very good running back, receiver out of the backfield, and returner. He's already had countless gamebreaking plays in his few years in the league. While Bush gets all the hype and spotlight, this guy in Jax is pulling off all the big plays and making the highlight reels every week.

Jacksonville is underrated in general...Marc Bulger is an underrated qb.

I think he is kinda overrated and more a system guy ok guys i dont think get their proper due
Any good offensive lineman not named walter jones, Ogden or steve hutchinson
Kevin Williams and Tommie Harris both when healthy are just as big of terrors as the top ends like Dwight freeney Also honorable mention to Kelly Gregg who leads the d tackles in tackles and never gets mentioned

Patrick Willis yes i know he got D rookie of the year and the probowl but still everyone talks about Adrian Peterson. Peterson is fantastic but i worry about his health and longevity Patrick Willis is an absolute monster he could very well be the next ray lewis. Which brings me to my next guy
Dawan Landry. Everyone talks about Ed reed but Dawan landry does all the dirty work makes all the tackles and lets reed roam around the backfield getting big picks. Dont get me wrong i still think reed is a top safety in the game but his cast allows him to play a little more rogue than most safeties.

Aaron Kampman Is a great d end and nobody ever talks about him even though he puts up great numbers better than the likes of freeney and plays both the run and the pass great.

Also brian westbrook has been a top back in the league for YEARS and yet nobody talks about him. He is so versatile and catches like a wr and still people always gloss over him

I love MJD. I saw an interview with him and the anchor asked how he felt about putting up better stats then Bush and not getting any press for it. MJD said "All I care about is winning." Him and Freddie T. are an awesome one-two punch. Just like AP and Chester.

I Jacksonville as a whole is an underrated team. Garrard only threw 3 picks in the regular season.

Mike turner has been in LT's Shadow for a few years. i just hope ATL has a decent line, he can be a pro bowl back

I agree with MJD. Loved him in college. I will go with Barret Ruud, Linebacker for Tampa. Tampa had the #2 defense last year which was led by him, and not one player made the probowl. Shows how much of a popularity contest it is.

Charles Tillman of the Bears is an underrated CB...doesn't get the credit he deserves in my opinion.

As much as I hate to admit it you're right... Jax is the only team that seem to own the Steelers each and every time they play.

MJD is the most underrated RB right now. He's proven to be much better than Bush but never gets the attention or endorsements that BUsh gets even though he has consistently been outplaying Bush since they both came into the league. And MJD can be an every down back and one who's not afraid to go up the middle...the same can't be said about Bush.

He is an amazing player, but I 'm not 100% sure of an everydown back. He has the Talent , but I'm not sure if he will have the physical stamina or longevity. though he is built like a brick shit house, he is still very small. He also plays very physical. He is one of my favorite backs though.
