Underrated players 

Josh Sitton, guard: Packers veteran Chad Clifton was named to the 2010 Pro Bowl team, but most football people will tell you Sitton long has been the team's best offensive lineman. He hasn't missed a snap since the start of the 2009 season, the only Packers player on offense or defense to accomplish that feat. Sitton is without question the Packers' most powerful run-blocker, helping the Packers average 4.48 yards per carry up the middle in 2010, according to NFL statistics. He has elevated his pass-blocking to a near-equal status. Recognition outside of Green Bay has been fleeting, but he was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2010 and was named the league's best offensive lineman by NFL Alumni.




acme packing company 

ESPN's Kevin Seifert and John Clayton had kind words for Green Bay Packers RG Josh Sitton. From the NFC North Blog:

Sitton is without question the Packers' most powerful run-blocker, helping the Packers average 4.48 yards per carry up the middle in 2010, according to NFL statistics. He has elevated his pass-blocking to a near-equal status.

And he's starting on John Clayton's All-Underrated Team. But he's the only Packer included. The list is looking for productive players who have never been a 1st round pick or been to a Pro Bowl, which does exclude a lot of Packers. Here's a couple players who came to mind:

TE Jermichael Finley. I'd take him in a minute over Clayton's chosen starter, Brent Celek. But he's looking for players who have been productive, and due to Finley's injuries over the past couple seasons, his actual production is limited. He's more about potential then production.

LB Desmond Bishop. James Laurinaitis was the chosen starter, and he's a very good player too. I don't watch the Rams, so I couldn't say whether he's better than Bishop.

DE Cullen Jenkins. The All-Underrated team is a little biased against the Packers 3-4 defense by going with a 4-3 alignment, but Jenkins could play at either tackle position in this hypothetical defense. I wouldn't be surprised if Terrance Knighton and Antonio Garay are better against the run than Jenkins, but he's a better pass rusher, which is a rare quality in a defensive tackle.

Was anyone else snubbed?

You might be able to argue Tramon in there. IDK if he would be considered underrated though.

Jordy (there are a lot of underrated WRs in the league though.

Raji?

Raji was a 1st round pick. I don't think Williams has ever been to a pro-bowl but I think he was invited this year after a couple vet CBs (including Woodson) said they weren't going even though they were voted in... and of course Williams didn't go as the Super Bowl teams were preparing to play the Super Bowl. So if they're counting that then Williams is off the list as well.

I'm not saying they're strong cases but I think you could make a case and argue C Wells, CB Shields, LB Zombo, P Masthay, WR Jones, WR Nelson and maybe FB Kuhn.

But 3 of those guys were in their 1st year. C and FB have a lot of under rated guys to choose from. And while it's very good depth they might be able to find someone who got to be a starter and because of that put up better numbers.
