1. Kenny Lucas - The guy is a ballhawk and one of the better corners in football. Makes big plays. 2. Clark Haggans - Big time pass rusher for the Steelers, one of the most underrated linebackers. 3. Lance Briggs - This guy is a beast for Chicago, averages 100 tackles a year and is only 25. 4. Ike Taylor - A good young corner who is becoming one of the better in the league. 5. Marcus Washington - Doesn't get the respect he deserves playing for the Redskins. 6. Rocky Bernard - Has beefed up and so has his game this season (Contract year). 7. Walter Jones - He's better than everyone, at this point one of the best ever to play. 8. Steve Hutchinson - Takes defenders and pushes them back, amazing strengh and ability. 9. Charles Grant - Doesn't get the attention he deserves, a very good DE.10. LeCharles Bentley - He's definatly the best (And I swear only black) center in the NFL.
Jones and Hutchinson are definitely not underrated, people know and respect their abilities as linemen, no doubt.I agree with you about Ike Taylor, Rocky Bernard and Marcus Washington though.

LeCharles Bentley - He's definatly the best (And I swear only black) center in the NFL.</div>Its a very good list (and filled with Seahawks I might add)...Just a few more underrated players IMO....Trent Green - constantly puts up excellent numbers for years now and for some unknown reason nobody consideres him a top QB. (62.5% Accurate, 4014 yards, 17 TD, 10 INT, 90.1 Rating)Matt Hasselbeck - same as Trent Green (65.5% Accurate, 3459 yards, 24 TD, 9 INT, 98.2 Rating), yet goes unmentioned when people talk about the top QB's.Tiki Barber - For the last 2 years, this guy has been just as good and dominant as every other runningback in this league. (1860 Yds Rushing(5.2 Average), 54 receptions, 530 Yards Recieving, 11 TD)Rod Smith - Has had 1000 yards 8 out of the last 9 seasons. 10,000 yds recieving on his career, and he still gets no respect, simply amazing considering the guy went UNDRAFTED.Larry Fitzgerald/Anquan Boldin - 2 Extremly talented young Wide Recievers for the Arizona Cardinals, who both had 100 receptions and over 1300 yards this year, yet neither of them are considered top WR's in the league.Every Single Good Offensive Lineman in this league...they get ignored until they screw up, yet its one of the most important positions. The Entire New York Jets secondary outside of Ty Law, #2 Pass Defense in the league, yet nobody here could tell me who the following players are: David Barrett, Justin Miller, Derrick Strait, Erik Coleman, Kerry Rhodes...(not to mention that they completly shut down Steve Smith with a double coverage of Justin Miller and Erik Coleman )Antonio Pierce - NYG - MLB, the guy makes all the right calls for the Giants defense and was missed severly in the last few weeks when he was injured. Thats all of the top of my head right now.
I wouldn't call Jake the Snake underrated at all, he isn't that great, and Eli Manning still has a couple things to take care of before you can call him underrated, right now I think he's OVERRATED.Larry Fitzgerald, I will agree with you, Dunn I will agree with you.Vick can't pass, straight up can't pass. He's overrated.
