Who is the most underated RB in the NFL?

My pick: Maurice Jones - Drew

116- Atts
16.6-Att/per game
640- yards
5.5- Average
91.4- Average per game
10- TD's
6- 20+ yard runs
3-40+ yard runs
1- Fumbles


He is on one of the worst teams in the NFL and he is very underrated . He is a workhorse


My Pick: Cedric Benson

720-yards
4.4- Average
102.9-average per game
5-td's
6-20+ yard runs
0-40+ yard runs
1- fumble

When this guy left the Bears everyone thought this guy was done... He isn't as athletic as MJD but they are different types of backs (Benson is a power back). Benson is a VERY underrated running back.


Cedric Benson?
His NFL career:
54- Games
798 Attempts
14.8Average Attempts per game
3,060 Yards
3.8 Average per carry
56.7- per game
17- Career TDs

He was the 4th overall pick in the 2005 draft
He is isnt really rated at all. He could be overrated. With stats like those and plus he has one more season than MJD and MJD is better in all stats. MJD is rarely spoken of when it comes to the best RB. They say: AP, LT, Chris Johnson, Michael Turner, Frank Gore, Ronnie Brown. MJD leads the NFL in multiple categories almost every year, and rarely people speak of him.

MJD Career stats
54- Games
646 Attempts
12.0- Average attempts per game
3,173 Career Yards
4.9 Average per carry
58.8- yards per game
44- career rushing TD's

He was the 60th pick. No not the forth overall the 60 pick!

I would take MJD over everyone i listed besides maybe AP. I said MAYBE!


According to ESPN MJD is projected to get

MJD #3 Ranked RB
1142 Yds rushing
4.7 YPR AVG
11 Touchdowns

Currently has
640 Yards rushing
5.5 YPR AVG
10 Touchdowns

While Cedric Benson is projected to get

Benson #33 ranked RB
975 Yards rushing
3.6 YPR AVG
3 Touchdowns

Currently has
720 Yards Rushing
4.4 YPR AVG
5 Touchdowns

Seem that Benson was doubted from the beginning and has exceeded expectations there for making him UNDERRATED


MJD is the only black horse that would have a chance in the Kentucky Derby

Cedric Benson. No one wanted him two years ago this year he is top 5 rusher and was leading until the bye week and Chris Johnson's game.

I'd much rather think Cedric than MJD. Coming into this year, he was thought to be one of the best. If anything, I see him as slightly overrated this year based on production.

Benson is a good pick, I'd throw Clinton Portis & Westbrook in there as well.

Cliton is a peice of poo. He is no good. Westbrook gets hurt way to much to be really good.

MJD has been underrated his whole career.

Cedric was the most overrated Rb before this year. CB hasnt been in the league enough to be good. MJD has been there for awhile and he has been good the whole time

MJD... Was considered the # 2 pick in Fantasy football this year... I don't see him as under-rated...
Given Benson's season I would say that he is a better pick.

This is Benson's 5th season in the NFL
MJD is in his 4th...

And don't even front on MJD's power. If I posted videos i'd insert the one of him laying out Merriman here.

I don't get how MJD is underrated. He was compared to AP in almost every fantasy football article before the season.

If left is going to take MJD, I would have taken Chris Johnson or Adrian Peterson.

I would assume so, they are the "horses" of their team and they are African American but I doubt that is what he meant by "Black Horse".
