Overrated: Easy.
Jok: He's a great athlete, but it's not transitioning to the field. He takes terrible angels to the ball because he can't shield and shed. Misses tackles due to lack of strength. I'm hoping he can turn it around and I believe he has the potential to, but he gets way too much love. He played bad last year, and yes, I know all about how bad the DTs are.
Delpit: Another one who gets a lot of love. Terrible recognition on routes. Very slow to react to plays. Often out of position. Doesn't move well laterally. Hopefully, he will play more SS and not play as much in Cover 2 or 2-Deep. The only thing is that the league has been running a ton of both of those to combat what offenses are doing.
Underrated: This one is hard.
Teller. He is one of the top guards in the entire league. He was hurt during the year and his play declined a bit. But, he is top 3-5 guard in the league. It can be argued that he is the face of the team when we play bully ball. Dude is a pancake specialist who plays w/good technique and is very good at the second level. Yet, people are always talking about moving on from him. Crazy.
Myles: This one might sound odd, but I do not think he is adequately appreciated, at least on this board. I hear NFL analysts always bringing his name up when evaluating other Edge rushers in the league or the draft. They throw in comments like "he's not Myles Garrett" or "....if you can get a Myles Garrett..." etc. No player in the league at his position makes great plays on every single snap. Myles is often double and triple teamed. There are stats that verify that claim, yet we have posters saying he does not make a difference like other defensive linemen. That argument is trash. Myles is a great player and we are lucky to have him.
