I'll do the major teams because they all have at least 1

UGA-Orson Charles he's talented but he disappears a lot and drops too many balls
Tenn-Tyler Bray. He's good but not elite like a lot of people say
UF-I'd say the whole defense outside of Elam,Bostic and Easley
USCe-Stephon Gilmore. Everybody knows it and most don't think he's as good as the announcers say he is every week
Aub-McCalebb. Big time speed and if he gets a crease he's gone but he can be shut down pretty easily if defenses have speed
Ark-Tyler Wilson. I actually like him but again he's not elite like the media has made him out to be this week. He throws some absolute terrible balls at times
Bama-Robert Lester another guy I like but he's not an All american or even close to what people were saying at the start of the year.
LSU-Russell Shepard. Pretty easy even though to it's credit most on this board have known this for a long time. Why the national media always says he is one of our biggest and most important playmakers is beyond me. He's an average wr that happens to have good speed(honestly this is overrated as well. His football speed is not as good as the times we are told around LSU circles).

TM7 is a little overrated as a cover corner but anyone that denies his ability to impact games is either biased against him or hasn't seen the games and are just following the crowd. His blitzes off the edge are when our defense is at it's best. Also his knack for causing turnovers can not be questioned. Go take a look at the WV int and tell me how many kids can make that play. Very few.

Not gonna lie, there was a time when I thought TM7 was the best football player I'd ever seen. I still like him and root for him to have big plays when not playing Alabama, but he is a little overrated. Shepard isn't overrated, everyone knows he isn't a good football player.

To be overrated implies people rate that guy highly. No one rates Russell Shepherd that high.

I don't know if Matthieu's overrated. He's a good player. But personally I think Claiborne and Reid are LSU's best defensive backs.
