SI has Zeitler ranked as the 8th best OG in the NFL this year.  And with having the next generation of Tackles in Ogbuihe and Fisher, it will be vital to keep experience and consistency along the interior of the OL, as they develop.  Cant really see the Bengals letting Zeitler just walk.

Eh, if it's not swimsuits, I generally ignore SI. They've fallen a great deal since their past. Much like ESPN.

I looked this up on SI just to give a snapshot....
http://www.si.com/nfl/2016/09/06/afc-scouting-reports-overrated-underrated

-Bengals most underrated player? Tyler Eifert
"Eifert was a Pro Bowler, but it seems like most people think there is a huge division between the Patriots’ Rob Gronkowski, who’s widely considered to be the best tight end in the league, and then everybody else." ...because there is.

-Bengals most overrated player? Andy Dalton
"...if they didn’t have A.J. Green, and Eifert, and that offensive line to protect Dalton, he’d have a pretty hard time being successful on the field." ...is there a QB in the league who can not have any pass catchers or blockers and still be successful? Didn't realize that was unique to Dalton.

Other notable names:
-Jadeveon Clowney most underrated for the Texans despite being the 2014 1st overall pick and not having done anything.
-Alex Smith most overrated for the Chiefs for "holding them back more than helping" despite the fact that he had a 378 yard, 4 TD/0 INT postseason game in 2013 that the Chiefs lost.

Not to forget Paxton Lynch is the most underrated player on the Broncos without having ever taken a snap, and Joey Bosa is the most overrated player on the Chargers without having ever taken a snap. Lol

That was literally just the first article I picked on there.

He had a knee problem his rookie year, his second year he actually was already hurt with a shoulder injury that was going to play through but needed surgery in the offseason. When the elbow injury happened and didn't heal like they hoped, he got surgery on them both. Then here was the pinched nerve in the back that a lot of people have forgotten that actually kept him out of the game BEFORE the Steelers game where he got a 2.5 week concussion. Now the injury in the Pro Bowl that happened what, 8 months ago? And he's still not ready.

So he's the slowest healer ever, and he's constantly injured. That's 6 injuries in 3 seasons, 3 of them requiring surgery.

Bob Sanders was an All-Pro two times in his first four years. That still didn't make him valuable to the team when he wasn't playing, though.
