Juror#8 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Maybe not the âmostâ underrrated but he should be in the âunderratedâ discussion: Tiki Barber (donât laugh, Iâm being serious)  And to a lesser extent, Shaun Alexander. Alexander is not talked about because he had three phenomenal years, peaked, and then hit a wall like nothing Iâve ever seen before (or since) in the nfl year-over-year. 2
Mr. WEO Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 1 hour ago, BillsBlue said: I gotta say Freddy haha if he had a chance to start from his early 20s he would have probably gotten a ring somewhere Fred was a great guy, but not a game changer. He wasn't an every game back and on bad teams with modest offensive weapons, he didn't dominate with his legs.  But in the spirit of "underrated", it has to be a truly great back who is not often mentioned with other great backs.  So:  C Martin E James Ricky Williams    1
Stank_Nasty Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 54 minutes ago, PlayoffsPlease said: Yet OJ and Jim Brown have dominated this threads discussion. Uhhh. What thread are you talking about? This is most UNDERRATED. Brown and OJ Simpson havnt been mentioned at all.Â
Toesy Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Frank Gore-considering the guy has almost 19000 yards I would say he is somewhat underrated.
That's No Moon Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 William Andrews. Career was shortened by injury but he was a good football player.

Logic Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 LeSean McCoy. Seriously. This dude is the closest thing to Barry Sanders since, well....Barry Sanders. Because he has never had much postseason success, and because he has played the second half of his career in Buffalo (which, in terms of national eyes on the team, may as well be the Atlanta Legends), he is not talked about much. Or at least, not as much as his trascendent talent level should dictate. Frank Gore, also. Top five all time in NFL rushing yards. His longevity and consistency -- especially considering the injuries he had in college -- are insane. Funny that these two guys now comprise the Buffalo Bills backfield. What a time to be alive.

He got to run behind his college fullback (Charles Way) with the Giants. Way was certainly underrated in his own right. Definitely a top 5 blocking FB, and a beast in short yardage... until his knees deteriorated.Â
Buffalo Junction Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 While he wasnât underrated in his playing days, heâs certainly been forgotten about since then... Rickey Watters.  Another forgotten guy... Ahman Green. He put up six 1000 yard seasons with a 4.5 ypc career average.Â

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Curt Warner... not the QB, Tony Dorsett, Christian Okoye  i think of Wendell Tyler mostly as a Ram, and he did fumble a lot.  He carried the ball sooo loose- great at bursting through traffic, then he'd just drop the call in open field haha 1
frostbitmic Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Ickey Woods  What list would be complete without Shaud Williams ? ... He picked up 10 yards a lot but they only gave him the ball to run draws on 3rd and 20.

Dude attained what seem to be mythical status through the 90âs and had only two 1,000 yd seasons out of his 6 years in the nfl.Â
YodaMan79 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 A lot of great names mentioned.  Hard to pin down to just a few, but I've always been a big B. Westbrook fan.  He could do it all, I thought he was just as good as Faulk when healthy.  I dont think these guys have been mentioned: Thomas Jones Terry Allen Ernest Byner Clinton Portis  Â
Toesy Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Also Marcus Allen-his stats are great-he was maybe the top goal line RB ever-and Al Davis worked pretty hard at screwing up his career-there is a video on the whole thing.
Steve O Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Has Joe Delaney been mentioned? AFC ROY in 81. 82 was strike shortened and he had an eye injury limiting his play. Drowned before the 83 season trying to rescue three kids from a water hole left from construction. He couldn't even swim if memory serves. 1
