London Fletcher was very underrated because he has been overlooked by the league.

Carl Pickens was a DAWG. Him and Darnay Scott was a legit WR combo saddled with mid QBs.

[@blakebrown84]

I remember Jamal Lewis had an incredible season in 2003 when he rushed for 2,066 yards, making him one of the few players to join the 2,000-yard club. He also set a then-NFL record with 295 rushing yards in a single game against the Cleveland Browns🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

[@manuginobilisbaldspot2]

Almost 1/4 of his yards came against the sorry Browns. He had 205 in the other game they played against Cleveland.

[@fortynights1513]

A few good players that deserve mention in my opinion: Merton Hanks: Tim McDonald who they mention was good in San Francisco, but when I watch clips of the 90’s Niners on defense, I don’t see it thrown to Hanks’ side of the field very much. Made four all pro teams in the mid 90’s. Marques Colston: One of the best skill position players in recent decades to not make a pro bowl. Diron Talbert: According to unofficial sack stats, he has more sacks in his best eight seasons combined than Merlin Olsen and almost as many as Bob Lilly in his eight best seasons. Fred Dryer: Became an actor after playing of course, but also was a pretty good pass rusher. Had 103 sacks unofficially for the Giants and Rams, including 15 in a second team all pro season in 1974. Keith Lincoln and Paul Lowe: One of the great backfield tandems of the 1960’s. In particular on the AFL side.

[@1998_MIN]

@@fortynights1513 they did mention Colston in a previous episode Dryer is also the only player to date to score two safeties in one game

Mark Gastineau is sometimes overlooked despite his impressive career. He was a dominant force as a defensive end for the New York Jets. He was part of the famed "New York Sack Exchange," which also included Joe Klecko, Marty Lyons, and Abdul Salaam🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

Larry centers receptions are legendary. Such a great and underrated player.

[@blakebrown84]

Everson Walls may not be as widely remembered as some other NFL legends, but his contributions to the game and his impressive career certainly deserve recognition. Being undrafted from Grambling State didn’t stop him from being a great player in the league. He was remembered for leading the NFL in interceptions 3 times and being selected to multiple Pro Bowls showcases his talent and skill. His Super Bowl win with the New York Giants is another highlight that shouldn't be overlooked🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

[@DaBearsManiac2]

Everson Walls deserves to be in the HOF. He was the best shutdown corner of the 80's.

[@patrickhagood5407]

Did y’all hear Bellichick give him praise on last week’s Manningcast? He was so enthusiastic they pretty much had to cut him off.

[@blakebrown84]

I feel like NFL have overshadowed him

[@zxMoleculexz]

Loved Jeremy shockey

[@BasedLeifEriksson]

Greg Jennings deserves a HOF slot simply for his Madden video game meme

[@Gungho73]

I think people really underrate Joe Theismann. We talk/laugh about guys who don't want to run a route as a QB like Jay Cutler, or dunk on a guy like Richardson for taking a play off. Joe came into the league, there was no path for him to be the franchise QB. So what'd he do? I'm frustrated, get me out on special teams. I'll practice punting and be the emergency punter. Let me run a couple routes. It's a run play, I'll throw a block I'm a part of this unit too. This cat wanted to play ball. There are players you could question their motivation or toughness or commitment to their team but its hard to argue against that dude. I think that got lost in a bit of his legacy due to the dudes mouth and the whole leg thing.

[@notmarealnameboi]

Well said. His 83 skins scored the most points in NFL history. I think it stood until the 98 Vikes.

As a DB in my youth, Everson Walls and Tim McDonald were my two favorite players back then. So cool they were both in some random video I was half paying attention to. Both could dominate a game. I was so happy they each won late-career Super Bowls. I got to meet Mr. Walls several times at Cowboys functions and still have a football signed by him.

[@DoubleHeader97]

[@robertlinn4481]

Dallas Clark was one of my favorite players growing up. Love to see him getting long overdue respect

[@nascarsteve]

Us Chiefs fans definitely remember T-Rich. He was awesome. And, even though I loathe the Cowboys, I live in the Dallas area, and met Everson Walls 10 years ago on my birthday. The store I worked at at the time had him in for an appearance, he told everyone that was in his line to sit down next to him to get a photo with him. I had him write "Happy birthday" on my photo.

[@onunka16]

Miss Jeremy Shockey. Grit and toughness at the tight end position

[@blakebrown84]

Michael Turner was indeed a force to be reckoned with during his NFL career. Known as "The Burner," Turner played for the Atlanta Falcons and San Diego Chargers. His powerful running style and ability to break tackles made him a key player for his teams. Did y’all know he had an impressive career rushing average of 4.5 yards per carry!🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
