Most underrated player in the NFL
 

best 3/4 end / DT in the NFL

better than Justin Smith...and even Nagta...better than Suh

I am not sure why he didn't get any cred last year...the man is just insane




this came up because I am currently in a fantasy keeper draft with IDPs that is starting, and he had better stats last year than any other 3/4 DE/DT in the league.

I can understand him not making the probowl, because that is just a popularity contest and studs get snubbed all the time...but him not getting a All-Pro nod is inexcusable.

How can a 1st team all-pro voted on by the media be underrated?

CALAIS! I love the guy. I hope the Cardinals hold onto him for his whole career.

I have season tickets to the Cardinals and every time the Cardinals win a home game Calais Campbell and his family go eat dinner at a restaurant near by the stadium called BJ's. It's become a tradition of theirs to go there and celebrate a win. I often go there after wins as well, so I run into him a lot. I've talked to him and he's a really nice guy. A real Gentle Giant type of person off the football field. Very humble, and not afraid to talk to fans and signs autographs and takes pictures with fans gladly with a smile on his face.

If he keeps up his beasting this year, I'll be seeing him at BJ's a lot! lol

I truthfully didn't realize he got voted all-pro. I was a little disappointed he wasn't voted DPOY though.

But even still, among fans, I don't think people show him enough love. Just my personal opinion Carbine. Yet again, I don't know Bowman in real life. He went to my university but I never talked to him or anything. He could actually not be good at football in real life. It's hard to say.

I'm truly shocked prime started a thread that didn't involve a Dallas Cowboy.

I saw the thread title and who started it and said to myself, "Oh boy, I wonder which Cowboy he's pumping up now?"

Re: Most underrated player in the NFL
 

Lol

I'm shocked he didn't mention my asshole

Re: Most underrated player in the NFL
 

Did you double check to make sure he wasn't a Sooner?

Re: Most underrated player in the NFL
 

Not to be a total homer, but the correct answer is D'Qwell Jackson. He is one of the best linebackers in the league and I'm not sure anyone outside of Cleveland has ever watched him play.

Re: Most underrated player in the NFL
 

He was ripping it this year on my fantasy league team (it's a 19 player deep league). :pimp:

Re: Most underrated player in the NFL
 

He's a good player and qualifies for underrated. Just think you go overboard when you try to prove that point by saying he's better than Ngata, Suh. Thats where the disagreement comes from.

Re: Most underrated player in the NFL
 

In 2011, he led the league in solo tackles (116) and was 2nd to London Fletcher in combined tackles (158). He also led all middle linebackers in tackles for loss.

He is a Pro Bowl caliber player... And he gets zero publicity.
