5 most underrated NFL players in 2022

#3 – Davis Mills, Houston Texans

Houston Texans v Arizona Cardinals

Despite being drafted in round three in 2021, Davis Mills of the Houston Texans was one of the best rookie quarterbacks last year. Given little chance of success, Mills managed to pass for 16 touchdowns with a passer rating of 88.8.

Despite only going 2-9 as a starter, fans acknowledge that Mills wasn’t the problem in 2021. If he’s given some more tools in 2022, he could prove to be the best quarterback from the 2021 NFL Draft.

#2 – Darnell Mooney, Chicago Bears

Baltimore Ravens v Chicago Bears

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney is amongst the most underrated players in the NFL. Much like D.J. Moore, Mooney has had plenty of poor quarterbacks throwing him the ball. But he’s still managed to put up excellent stats.

Mooney put up his first 1,000-yard season in 2021, as well as having 142 receptions over his two years in the league. This puts him behind just Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb from his draft class. They were both first-rounders, while Mooney wasn’t selected until round-five.

#1 – Demario Davis, New Orleans Saints

New Orleans Saints v Philadelphia Eagles

New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis has been named an All-Pro for the last three years, but he’s yet to make a Pro Bowl. This is a nod to him being underrated by fans, who control part of the voting for the Pro Bowl.

Davis has been excellent, as he’s the only player in the league with more than 100 tackles, 10+ TFLs and 3+ sacks in three of the last four seasons.

He is also an excellent communicator, getting his defense into position for each and every play, and has become an anchor for the team.
