Underrated Lions
- Thread starter sunshinedynomite

Brian Miller…still our only player to be named first team all-conference three times, and yet rarely talked about as one of our best defenders (or even best CBs).
DaeSean Hamilton, career reception leader behind Deon Butler. Who is also probably another underrated player.
Ethan Kilmer—- a walk on Shippensburg transfer receiver who went on to an NFL career and played safety and special teams. He was a 7th round draft pick of the Bengals in 2006. He played a few years as a safety before a thigh injury put him on IR and he was later released. In 2008 he was signed by the Dolphins but retired soon after.

One of my favorite players and best special teams gunners ever. He allegedly did 1000 push ups and sit ups every day. That's dedication!
You shouldn't joke, he is seriously under-rated. He was the offense in 2014 and 2015. Without Hack, we win no more than 3 games either year. He wasn't as good as we hoped he would be due to dysfunctional coaching but he is better than most think.
Nothing like doubling and tripling down on stupid. I seriously doubt you really feel this way, you’re trust trying to get a rise out of people.
Dex Very. My roommate dated Very’s granddaughter and told me that when you shook his hand you knew he was a hell of a football player.
Your sig pic is one of my all time favorites and I would really like to have the picture blown up to understand the entirety of the situation. It doesn't appear to be one of your traditional "staged" model photos. The gentleman in the background is a curiosity.
Evan Royster.
That kid got grief on this board for….no reason at all
Rodney Kinlaw.
He has the 10th highest single season rushing yardage (1329 yards). Most of it came in the final 6 or 7 games of that season. Nary a positive word

The bigger curiosity is that anyone noticed the gentlemen in the background.

Agree, Royster was probably most underrated player. He is top rusher in PSU history yet never mentioned with Saquon, Warner, Carter. He was blue-collar workhorse and had perhaps best 'feet in the hole' of any backs listed. He had uncanny ability to find a crease very quickly. He just lacked home run speed which we look great in highlights. His game against UM (when we lost 9? in row) was amazing.
He was so well rounded as a back. Did all the little things well. Could run catch and block.
I have always liked Zack Mills. I think he is generally underappreciated/under-valued.
The only people who would consider Buttle underrated are the ones that never seen him play.
One of the best ever linebackers at Penn State and with the Jets.
Buttle and Hartenstine were both consensus All Americans and deserving of being in the College Football Hall of Fame. But they're not. That's a damn shame.
I'm not sure what is meant by underrated but neither were underrated during their playing days, college or pro.
Yeah.....I took it as remembered. Or mentioned when any one discusses the greats in history. Hartenstine rarely gets mentioned. Which is a function of time. They played long before most here remember.
Along those lines here is another....Rosy Grier. Great athlete, ordained minister, he was the guy that grabbed Sirhan Sirhan after Sirhan killed Sen Robert Kennedy and took away his gun.
Josh Hull, Jan Johnson, Brandon Smith ( #47 ).
All walk on’s.
All walk on’s.
