The Green Bay Packers certainly have plenty of star power on their roster, but they also have a few players who don't get the credit they deserve. Underrated players are a too-common reality of the NFL, whether that be in terms of their contract or how they are viewed by the fanbase and others. With that in mind, here are the three most underrated players on the Chiefs in 2016.
WR Jeff Janis
There are three different Packers WR who could have breakout seasons in Janis, Davante Adams and Ty Montgomery, but based on what he did near the end of last season - and how little you've heard about him since - he makes this list. The former seventh round pick showed his ability in the team's playoff game against the Cardinals when he caught 7 passes for 145 yards and two scores. Janis is still raw, but has the ability to be the team's No. 3 WR who lines up outside when the Packers go to their three WR set.
ILB Jake Ryan
Ryan had 50 tackles last season in a part-time role, but the Packers will count on him for more this season. With Clay Matthews potentially moving back to OLB, Ryan looks like the team's top ILB. Ryan won't set the world on fire, but he should be a quality starter for the Packers in 2016.
CB Quinten Rollins
Rollins was the team's second round pick last season and served as the team's fourth CB. Just three years removed from playing basketball at Miami (OH), the talented Rollins is primed for a big-time season. He'll be the team's nickel corner, and should shine. In limited playing time last season, Rollins had six pass breakups and two interceptions, one of which went for a touchdown. Rollins was one of the better Packers' CBs last season and that should be the case again this year.
