My original premise of this article was slated to be your typical “5 Most Underrated Jets Players” list – perfect for this deserted portion of the NFL calendar.
But I figured I’d switch it up to something a little more specific. Instead of adhering to the generic “underrated” tag, I wanted to specifically target players who are underrated by the media.
Following this path, I was led to one specific player-versus-player comparison. It features a player who some in the media continue to label as the Jets’ WR2, pitted against another player who typically gets brushed aside as “just another guy” in conversations about the team’s wide receiver unit.
