re: Most underrated SEC FB player in the last ten years?

My non homer pick is Lutzenkirchen from Auburn

Couldn't actually remember if he fell in the "last ten years" for sure as it feels like it's been a while, but this was my gut reaction for a non-UGA player. Glad to know my mental clock wasn't wrong.

Other honorable mentions definitely include Randall Cobb and Connor Shaw. Will give some more thought to see who else comes to mind.

ETA: Disagree with Nick Marshall... He received plenty of credit/hype based on his performance. He was an incredibly talented athlete... not a great passer, but it isn't really a required component for Gus' offense (or at least wasn't at the time). Seems fairly rated/judged to me. Neither over nor under.

I thought Greg Childs was going to be an amazing NFL receiver before he tore his knee up. 6’3 and ran a 4.39 at our pro day.

Trey Burton. Outside of an untimely fumble against Ga, he was very good and versatile. Played QB, RB, and WR while at Fla and has had a pretty decent pro career.

Nick Marshall and Onterio McCalebb

OMAC may have not always ended a run without going out of bounds very often but his ability to run jet sweeps were a thing of beauty.

Nick was very good in running Gus' offense and kept Auburn in games with his feet and long ball.

Homer pick is Alex Ogletree. Too many good BAMA defenders that got all the hype.
Tree was a freakin beast.

Matt Flynn was a pretty good under the radar dude

How under-rated do we need to be?

David Andrews was the center for the highest producing QB in SEC history and the highest scoring offense in UGA history.

He goes undrafted.
And now he is starting in his second super bowl.

This is easy...

No 18 for LSU from a about a decade ago. RB. He converted on 4th downs a lot, especially in 2007 when UF and Tebow went to LSU. He basically won the game for LSU that night. And he was solid for LSU for years. Could always get tough yards, didn't fumble. Tremendous football player.

Flowers wasn’t under-rated ... he was hyped constantly, pretty sure he made an all SEC team.

I don’t think alot of you know what underrated means

2nd team all SEC one time. Major accolades dawg. Trust me, he was never on anyone's top list when they talked abut DEs in the SEC. He just quietly put together a great college career.

And the O-line completely fell apart when was hurt (UF) and when he left in '15.

Janoris Jenkins - best cover corner to come out of UF and single-handedly shut down everyone from Julio to AJ Green, even after the rest of our 08 superstars left the team

Ralph Webb - probably the best overall offensive player I remember seeing at Vandy. Always balled out against his hometown Gators, no matter how shitty of a team he was on (minus 2017). 4200 yards, 4.5 ypc, and 32 touchdowns at Vandy is insane.

Kevin Minter - The SEC pumps out more insanely talented LBs than any other conference, and Minter seems unremarkable by that standard. I thought he was incredible his junior year, but because LSU has 20 guys in the pros that are better than him, I fear he got lost in the shuffle a bit.
