I think Lester and Barron for Bama can qualify.
I cannot remember the thread, but someone discussed the notion that these two are overrated simply because they are starting safeties for Bama. Specifically in Barron's case, there is a sense that he must be a great ball player since he has started for Saban, the "DB Guru", for so long. He is better by osmosis from Saban or something.
Its like getting 1st team All-SEC votes because you are a 5th year senior on the OL. Being around for a while doesn't make you great necessarily.

Barron isn't overrated. he's probably going to be a 1st round pick. he's really good. you could maybe say Lester is just based on all those INTs he had last year. Barron is better than Lester, i don't think any Bama fans would argue that.
