Five most underrated players in the NFL
From Yardbarker
By Vincent Frank
We checked in on the five-most overrated players in the NFL earlier this week. That list was comprised of one future Hall of Fame player well past his prime and others who have seemingly put up good seasons throughout their career. It wasn’t a knock on the players included. Rather, it just goes to show us how certain players are overvalued in today’s NFL.
Now looking at the five-most underrated players in the NFL, there is an alarming consistency here. Some of these Pro Bowlers have played on disappointing teams, making them a product of their environment. More than that, there is one particular quarterback on this list that has found himself unfairly compared to the greats of the past.
Using a combination of advanced stats, NFL Network’s list of the Top 100 players (rankings in parenthesis) and how each individual stacks up contractually, here are the five-most underrated players in the league heading into the 2015 season.
1. Tony Romo, quarterback, Dallas Cowboys
2. Golden Tate, wide receiver, Detroit Lions
3. Muhammad Wilkerson, defensive end, New York Jets
4. Anquan Boldin, wide receiver, San Francisco 49ers
5. Matt Forte, running back, Chicago Bears
