There are so many players in the NFL who, for some reason or another, just don't get the attention they deserve -- which includes going to Pro Bowls. More NFL rankings That's why that game has become a joke in terms of evaluating a player's career. There are too many mi ses and there is too much popularity involved. For evidence, check out my , headlined by the most overhyped player in the league, . One of the big Pro Bowl mi ses from 2015 is the player I think is the NFL's Most Underrated. He is nose tackle . A year ago, I picked him as his team's most-underrated player. But after an impre sive 16 games in 2015, where he played as well as any nose in the league, Williams shoots to the top overall honor. How he mi sed out on a Pro Bowl in 2015 is mystifying. At 6-foot-1, 335 pounds, he is a load inside against the run. It's tough for centers to move him in one-on-one situations and he helps free up the linebackers to run to the football. Williams, who came out of tiny Mi souri-Southern, is entering his fourth season and should be on the verge of getting more accolades. He doesn't get sacks, which hurts his chances to get noticed. He had just two last season, and has just 3.5 in his three seasons. That's not where his impact is made, even if he can push the pocket some. He does the dirty work, anchoring in against the run. He also had 53 tackles last season, which is a lot for a nose. Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said Williams might be the best nose tackle in the game. But you'd never know it by the attention that comes his way. So this is a start. Now here are the most-underrated players for all 32 teams. TB OLB #41 Now that he's made the move to linebacker in their scheme, he has developed into a nice player. He might have struggled in coverage as a safety, but he fits in their scheme as a linebacker. He can run and he gets to the football. ATL T #73 The Falcons have struggled to get consistent line play for much of 's tenure with the team, but Schraeder was a pleasant surprise last season. He's a tall tackle at 6-9, but does a nice job in pa s protection and has Trent Williams Jersey improved in the run game. Baltimore Ravens KC NT #98 He has emerged as one of the better run-stuffing defensive tackles in the league. But he's also capable of getting push from the middle in the pa sing game. Now entering his third season, this player from tiny Mi souri-Southern has become a big part of the Ravens defense. LV G #64 He came back after sitting out the 2014 season because of Bullygate to have one of his best seasons. He is a mauler in the run game who will fight to the whistle and beyond. The Bills were smart to bring him back. WAS G #68 , the other guard, gets a lot of attention and rightfully so. He is a heck of a player. But Norwell, in his second season as a starter in 2015, isn't far behind. He plays with a nasty streak. There is a play from last season against Seattle where he got three blocks on one long run. Carolina has to be thrilled with their guards. Eddie Goldman NT As a rookie in 2015, he had 4.5 sacks and did a nice job against the run. As he learns more tricks of the position, those numbers will go up. He really came on in the second half of his rookie season. DEN CB #24 Forget the antics. Forget all the talk. He might have had his best season in 2015. Maybe his swagger is what makes him so good. Jones, formerly known as Pacman, had an impre sive season in coverage in 2015. Not bad for a guy who turns 33 in September. DEN FS #8 While has struggled, this second-year player has impre sed as a slot corner. Although only 5-9, this undrafted player has done a nice job inside as the nickel corner. JAC SS #42 In a secondary that had a ton of injury i sues, Church was a consistent starter in 2015, getting 15 starts with a 117 tackles. The 28-year-old Church is never going to be great when asked to play the deep middle. But when he's near the line of scrimmage, he's a good player. He's the Cowboys leading tackler over the past three seasons. LV ILB #54 The Broncos signed him to a contract extension in the offseason for a reason. He is a perfect linebacker for today's style of game, a run-and-chase player who can cover but also can be an effective player in the run game. He doesn't get much attention on their star-studded defense, but he should. LAR QB #9 You would think he had a bad season in 2015 the way it's portrayed, but it was far from it. He tied for seventh in the league with 32 touchdown pa ses and threw for over 4,000 yards for the fifth straight season. He has averaged almost 29 touchdown pa ses per year in that time frame. He's better than his reputation. CIN DE #76 People are finally starting to notice his play, but not enough. He doesn't rack up big numbers in their scheme, getting 18 sacks in four seasons and four in 2015. But his game is much better than those sack numbers. He influences the quarterback and he is good against the run. HOU FS #29 This converted corner took over as the starter at free safety after was benched and led the team in interceptions with four. He has the range that is needed to play the middle of the field, continuing a league trend of converted corners moving inside. MIA DE #96 Colts general manager Ryan Grigson takes a lot of heat for mi sing on free agents, but he hit on Langford last season. After coming over from the , Langford played well for the Colts. He had seven sacks and did a good job in the run game. KC DT #98 As simply a run-stuffing nose, he doesn't get a lot of attention. But he was a big reason why the Jaguars were solid against the run last season. He commands the double inside. There is nothing glamorous about the way he plays, but he is a good run defender. Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey CHI DE #95 He is a power player who is coming off his best season, which is why the team re-signed him as a free agent. He isn't going to wow you with his numbers, but he is good against the run and can push the pocket. Los Angeles Rams MIA DE #95 With now in New England, Hayes takes over as the full-time starter at left end. He has started 20 games the past two seasons, getting 9.5 sacks. Put on his tape against Seattle in Week 16 and you will see what he brings. He had three sacks that day and was impre sive in the run game. NO WR #80 It's hard to believe a guy who caught 110 pa ses and went to the Pro Bowl is underrated, but Landry is that. As the pa sing game becomes even more of a pro-style system under Adam Gase, his numbers might be even better. His touchdown numbers will certainly go up. DAL OLB #42 Barr, the team's first-round pick in 2014, has developed into one of the best outside linebackers in the league. He is long and can run and has instincts needed for the position. His interception of against Denver last season shows his ability to play in coverage. I also think if he rushed more his sack numbers would go up after getting 3.5 last season. TB CB #26 He started 14 games last season and led the team in interceptions with four. He isn't a top-level corner, but he is a good, solid cover player. Entering his fourth season, he has improved each of the past few seasons. He will be tough to get out of the lineup now. MIA T #72 The Saints signed him to a contract extension this spring for a reason. He has developed into a top-level left tackle. He is so athletic for the position and is on a path to being a Pro Bowl player for a long time. He will be just 25 when the season begins, which means he has a lot of good football ahead of him. SF C #58 He is the best center in New York now, ahead of of the , and one of the best in the league. Richburg, a former high-school quarterback, played guard as a rookie in 2014, but moved back to his college position of center last season and impre Frank Gore Jersey sed. Here's a bet he goes to the Pro Bowl this season. New York Jets Marcus Gilchrist FS He signed as a free agent last season from San Diego and was a big part of Todd Bowles' defense. He played 99 percent of the snaps and had three interceptions for a defense that needed a playmaker on the back end. This former corner has made a nice transition inside. SEA G #66 The addition of guard gives the Raiders a nice tandem. But don't overlook this kid. Entering his third season, he has emerged as a future Pro Bowl player. He plays with a nasty streak that shows up on tape. NO FS #27 Jenkins is a hybrid player who can line up outside, down in the box or in the deep middle. He has started at both corner and safety in his career, which makes him an important part of the Eagles defense. ARI T #76 For the second time in his career, Gilbert started 16 games last season and established himself as one of the better right tackles in the league. After trimming down entering the season, he allowed one sack and was impre sive against Broncos pa s rusher in their two meetings, holding him without a sack. SF CB #2 If you talk rising shutdown corners, this is a name that should be on the list. He is a smallish corner at 5-10, 190 pounds, but he isn't afraid to mix it up. This third-year player is on the precipice of being one of the league's better corners. He had an impre sive game last season against Pittsburgh's , who some consider the best receiver in the league. SF NT #93 After battling injuries his first two seasons, Williams settled in as the starting nose tackle for 16 games and was a force in the run game. The 49ers were so impre sed that they offered him a five-year deal to stay as a free agent. But he failed their physical, underwent ankle surgery, and signed a one-year deal. He might not be ready for the opener, but he is expected back early in the season. SEA OLB #34 We hear a ton about the Seattle front and middle linebacker and the Legion of Boom, but Wright is often overlooked. He shouldn't be. That's why he's the pick here for the second straight year. He is a long, athletic linebacker who can run to the football. He's a big part of why Seattle has been so good on defense the past four years. DET LB They signed him as a free agent from the Giants to help amp up their pa s rush. Ayers doesn't have the speed to be a blow-by-the-tackle pa s rusher, but he can pre sure the quarterback. He does a better job rushing inside in the nickel than he does on the outside. He's a nice veteran addition to their roster. DEN ILB #53 He led the Titans in tackles and was one of their better defensive players. This fifth-round pick from 2014 is good in the run game, and has improved in coverage. He also had 3.5 sacks last season and has 6.5 in two seasons. CIN DE #92 He isn't flashy or a big name, but he makes plays. Baker had six sacks last season from his down spot in their 3-4 scheme. He is also good against the run. At 325 pounds, he has made himself into a heck of a down player.
