He has not been spectacular in the NFL, but I like Raynoch Thompson. He was a good linebacker, that always played through his injuries and played well. He is not the most underrated, but hardly mentioned.

I think there are several that could fit into this category, but one I have always thought of as being underrated was Eric Lane who played fullback for us. He was really undersized for the position, but he didn't play like it. He always seemed to be a team player, and always wanted to do whatever he could to help the team succeed. Another one I should bring up would probably be former LB Nick Jester. I saw him make several fantastic plays while he was here at Tennessee, but he never gets mentioned that much.

Greg Amsler and Phillip Crosby come to mind. Of course, the fb has never been a glamour position.

I'd say James Stewart. He got some recognition in the end, but seemed to always play second fiddle to either Heath Shuler, Peyton Manning or Charlie Garner. For 4 years he was one of the most reliable running backs you could ask for.

It may sound funny, but Jimmy Johnson always said this about Bill Bates:

"Every year I've come into training camp with my mind made up to cut him, and yet he continues to show me each year why I can't."
