NFL's Most Overrated Player on Each Team

[BFritz21]

CBS Sports has a list of the most overrated players on each team, and Sanu makes the list for the Falcons:

Quote:Mohamed Sanu WR / Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons paid him a lot of money, but is he really anything more than a reliable second receiver? He has 152 catches in four seasons and just 11 touchdown catches. He's getting a lot of money for a guy who is just OK.

I've said all-along that we were smart to let him go because he wasn't worth that kind of money and only looked as good as because he had AJ taking all the attention away from the other receivers.

I think Marvin Jones, who didn't make the list, should also be considered in that same discussion for the same reasons. However, to build the case even stronger for Jones to be on this list, he's among the top ten highest-paid receivers over the next three years. The Lions are going to look and feel stupid when it becomes apparent that Jones was just the beneficiary of AJ and Andy.

I was shocked that Jones didn't make the list.

On the other hand, Maualuga made the list for us, which blows me away because who overrates him?

Quote:He is the starter in the middle of their defense, but he doesn't run well enough anymore. He started 14 games last season, but his skills are eroding. He's still OK, but his lack of speed shows up on tape. Vincent Rey, who has been mostly a backup, is a better option now.

I agree that he has been slipping, but, again, who overrates him? I think what makes that even more of a stupid claim is that he doesn't play in nickel packages, which is becoming more and more common than the traditional 4-3.

Regardless, if he can stay healthy, I think he'll do ok for us, but I definitely don't think he's the most overrated player on our team.
