So who’s named the most overrated player in the NFL? Â No unfortunately it’s not Tim Tebow, although he definitely makes my list. Â Find out who after the jump.
Detroit Lions DTÂ Ndamukong Suh has new name title to add to his name. Â To go along with being named the dirtiest player in the NFL, he’s now also named the most overrated.
According to CBS Sports:
The pick this year for the league’s most overrated player is Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. I know he has a ton of potential and was a force as a rookie in 2010, but he spent 2011 getting blocked.
He is an ultra-aggressive defensive tackle who uses his ability to get off the ball to drive up the field. But what teams did in 2011 was use that against him. He was trapped a lot. Often guards and centers would just let him rush up the field and take him where his momentum led him — which was out of the play.
He was much easier to block in 2011 than as a rookie. I expect he will bounce back in 2012 with a brush-up of his techniques, but as of right now he is my pick as the most overrated player in the NFL.
I think Pete Prisco is off on this although he raises some valid points. Â Suh’s numbers have dropped a bit but most overrated? Â No way, I could go on but lord knows I’ve gone on enough Tebow rants (no pun intended).
