Who is the most underrated player in the NFL today?

Some might disagree with this name, but Calvin Johnson is one of the best WR's I've ever seen. He's not a household name, but he should be.

Uh yes he is a household and everyone just about knows that he is good, despite Detroit's struggles at QB before Stafford got there.

And how are ya'll defining underrated? Someone who doesn't talked about by the masses or E!SPN because some of the names being mentioned don't even belong in here.

That's pretty much the definition of underrated though. IMHO underrated players are the guys who consistently produce but don't get recognition for it by the majority of people and sports programs because he's not flashy or on a great team or is being overshadowed by a guy on his team(like Mathis in Indy).

How would you define underrated if it's not getting mass recognition even though you're a great player?

Homer pick: Igor Olshansky. When the Cowboys lost Cris Canty I was worried they'd have a drop-off in the sack department. While Olshansky isn't fast or a great pass rusher he's a massive body that helped solidify a shaky run defense & forced double teams in order to free up the other "money" guys: Ratliff, Ware & Spencer.

Not really sure of any other guys except the FBs & TEs of the world who fill in their roll & make the other guys look great.

I'd go with Matt Schaub also, he helped me win 3 fantasy football championships.

Yeah Schaub's been pretty great minus his injury issues. Granted he has Andre Johnson to throw to, but if you don't count the injuries against him, he's definitely one of the better QBs in the league.

Matt Schaub is a good QB besides the injurys. Without the injurys could be a better QB.
