re: Who Are Some Criminally Underrated SEC Players of the Past/Present?

In a lot of ways Matt Jones was the anti-Johnny Manziel though. Manziel had all the swagger and force of will, just not any elite athletic abilities. Matt had plenty of swagger but the ambition and drive of a wet slug. He was lucky to be born with absolute elite athleticism, I'm not even sure he ran all that hard at the combine. However, he was drafted in the first round at a position he had never played I'm not sure the NFL underrated him...probably quite the opposite in hindsight.
