Most Overrated/Underrated GT players ever?

[Jacketeer]

I'll go first:
Overrated: Eric Henderson. He was really good, but we had some guys after him that were better(Derrick Morgan).

Underrated: Gary Guyton; I'm sure some have forgotten about him. Awesome player. Also have to mention Laskey, Days, and KaMichael Hall.

Gary Guyton laid a vicious hit on a VT player (I think) on a Thursday night game (I think) on special teams (I think)

 

[MEwreck02]

Calvin. He was just a mediocre pro who retired early.

 

[gtzulu]

Overrated: I-Perfection Harris
Underrated: Tevin

My Tech football knowledge only goes back to 2000

 

[WracerX]

Mike Cox always laid the wood.

(Waited so long to reuse this joke).

 

[Architorture23]

I think Isaiah Johnson and Jamal Golden are both pretty underrated/underappreciated. Made some big plays and both became very good tacklers in their last two years.

 

[JWilly]

Kelly Rhino. Could have used some Kelly clones on special teams this year.

 

[Wreck Em]

Overrated: Calvin Johnson
Underrated: A.J. Suggs
Joking, obviously

 

[southendzoneBEE]

Some more recent ones

Deon Hill in the cpj era

Rashaun grant was a good spell back for choice

Jaybo Shaw/Byerly/Jordan the backup white qbs in the cpj era all had their moments.

Ray Beno

Wr James Johnson

Isaiah was garbage until his senior year. Absolutely hot steaming garbage

My exact thought when reading the thread title.

That said, Cooper Taylor was overrated.

 

[CornerBlitz]

Isaiah was garbage until his senior year. Absolutely hot steaming garbage

But he had on helluva senior year...absolutely fantastic.

 

[CornerBlitz]

Underrated: Harvey Middleton, Brent Key, Adam Gostis, Vance Walker

Overrated: CJ Williams, Bilbo, Autry Bros.


oh..and Vad Lee.

 

[TechRush]

Underrated: Orwin Smith
Overrated: That Vad guy.

 

[JoltinJacket]

Overrated: Calvin Johnson
Underrated: A.J. Suggs
Joking, obviously

Pretty sure these are backwards. AJ came in hyped as a UT transfer and played like garbage under Chan.

 

[JoltinJacket]

Overrrated: Derrick Steagall. Constantly hurt and no real contributions until the 2nd half of his senior season in '97.

 

[Wreck Em]

Pretty sure these are backwards. AJ came in hyped as a UT transfer and played like garbage under Chan.

Look a tad closer.

 

[savbandjacket]

Hobie Holliday was a big bust. I recall that.

Overrated: The Goose
Underrated: The Goose
