Most Under-Rated Under-Appreciated Players Of The 2000's (NFL)

[BucciMane]

Which players do you think were under-rated or under-appreciated during the past 10-15 years?

Here are a few of mine.


Torry ****: Incredible hands and elite route runner. Overshadowed by Moss and Owens, but he was right there behind them in the next tier.

Julian Peterson: Top tier LB during the early/mid 2000's, but overshadowed by some bigger names LB's such as Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher. When he was on his game, few if any were better.

Corey Dillon: CLOCK KILLIN' COREY DILLON is EASILY the most under-rated and under-appreciated HB, if not player of the past 15 years. He should be a HOF LOCK, especially if that over-rated Jerome Bettis made it in. Stuck on TERRIBLE teams that were just as terrible as the modern day Browns.

Any Corey Dillon slander should be punishable by death.

It's absolutely CRIMINAL that he is not in the HOF. Even if someone like Bettis didn't make it, Corey Dillon should already be in. The offensive-line, QB, and lack of weapons he had around him..........

Meanwhile, he still put up elite numbers going against the prime Ravens defense twice a year and the Steelers defense twice a year as well..

I just listed two big name LB's. I wasn't going to list Ware, Merriman, etc.

He was overshadowed as a defensive player in general.

 

[Codeine Bryant]

Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

Brian Westbrook fukking killed the Giants. Breh was a tremendous receiver out of the backfield.

I understand what you meant, sure. ware/merriman play olbs in 3-4 so they arent a good comparison either tho

4-3 olbs usually dont get much love, kinda like 3-4 DEs didnt until watt
