Most Underrated NFL Players Going Into the 2018-2019 Season

We’ve had loads of underrated NFL players in the past. Some that play well, but are overshadowed by others at the position. Going into the 2018 season, we have plenty of players that aren’t getting the recognition they deserve. We’re looking at the top ten most underrated NFL players going into the 2018-2019 NFL season.
The Top Ten
1 Jordan Howard

Howard is a beast. I don't understand why no one cares.

He's underestimated for his talent

2 Blake Martinez

Martinez quietly led the NFL in tackles in 2017, but no one really knew. He’s pretty much unknown to a lot of people, unlike some on this list. But 2018 can be better for him. Maybe he’ll finally get some honors and a pro bowl. With depth lacking at linebacker in Green Bay, his workload will increase, meaning more opportunities for success in 2018.

3 Casey Hayward
4 Blake Bortles Blake Bortles is an American football quarterback for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League.

I am glad you recognized Blake as underrated. He isn't a bad QB. He played through a hand injury throughout the 2016 and 2017 seasons. If his hand stays healthy, I'm sure he will dominate.

He used to be the usual suspect to attack when the Jaguars were a joke but last year was different. Was that just a fluke or has he turned the corner

He lead the jags in the 2017 playoffs he lead the jags to the conference finals

No he is not he straight garbage fire trash

5 Mario Addison
6 Harrison Smith Harrison Smith is an American football safety for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League.
7 Whitney Mercilus Whitney Mercilus is a former American football outside linebacker who played 10 seasons in the National Football League. He played college football for the University of Illinois and was recognized as a unanimous All-American.
8 Brandin Cooks Brandin Cooks is an American football wide receiver and return specialist for the Houston Texans of the National Football League.

Keeps getting traded now rams say he is on the protected list. Should tell you something, over 1,000 yards last 2 years. With his kind of speed and staying on same team you better believe in cooks!

New Orleans and New England were foolish to toss Cooks around. Now, the Patriots are severely lacking depth at wide receiver, and are probably regretting letting him go. Now he’s fallen into the hands of the juggernaut Rams, which won’t help the Patriots chances of winning the super bowl. Brandin Cooks has finally found his home in Los Angeles.

9 Mitchell Trubisky
10 Yannick Ngakoue

Definitely underrated. He is one of the best defensive lineman in the NFL for sure (you know, every Jaguar d-lineman is one of the best in the NFL). That defense is just incredible!

The Contenders
11 Doug Baldwin Douglas Dewayne Baldwin Jr. is a former American football wide receiver of the National Football League. He played all 7 seasons of his career with the Seattle Seahawks.

Probably the most underrated receiver in the NFL. While he’s not elite, he’s still a consistently good target for Russell Wilson, and his workload will only increase with Paul Richardson and Jimmy Graham gone. Baldwin may even make a pro bowl in the future.

He has great toe drag swag so I don't see why no one cars.

12 Royce Freeman
13 Ross Cockrell
14 A.J. Green Adriel Jeremiah Green also known by many being called A.J Green to shorten his first name. He was drafted 4th overall in 2011 draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.
15 Michael Gallup
16 Tyrod Taylor
17 JuJu Smith-Schuster

John Sherman "JuJu" Smith-Schuster is an American football wide receiver and return specialist for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League.

People have to vote Juju. He did REALLY good in 2018. I hope Pittsburgh wins Super Bowl 54.

18 Marquise Goodwin
19 Mike Gesicki
20 Tom Brady Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr., is a retired American football quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. Brady is known for being the only quarterback in history to win 7 Super Bowls, and was often considered one of the best quarterbacks of all time. Brady was also frequently considered to be the biggest steal in NFL history as a late 6th round pick. He had previously played for the New England Patriots from 2000 to 2019.

Most overrated quarterback ever

He overrated

21 Carson Wentz Carson Wentz is an American football quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League. He played college football at North Dakota State University. He was drafted by the Eagles with the second overall pick of the 2016 NFL draft, becoming the highest drafted quarterback from an FCS school and the highest drafted player from NDSU.

Again, also not underrated.

22 Tashaun Gipson
23 C.J. Beathard
24 C.J. Mosley Clinton "C. J." Mosley, Jr. is an American football linebacker for the New York Jets of the National Football League.
25 Taysom Hill
