This is more of a national society thing, but you can definitely consider CJGJ underrated.

Gardner-Johnson is one of the best nickel corners in the league, playing great defense in the secondary and flying to the football.

In his three years with the New Orleans Saints, he has 161 tackles, 5 interceptions, 28 passes defended, and 3 sacks.
