Overrated: C Maurkice Pouncey:p
A three-time Pro Bowler and 2011 First Team All-Pro, Maurkice Pouncey, on paper, would seem to be one of the best players at his position. Turn on game film of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and you get a different story.
Pouncey is a quality player, but it's possible to be both good and overrated, and that's what you have in the former University of Florida prospect. There is a Pouncey worthy of the accolades, but his name is Mike and he plays for the Dolphins.

Underrated: QB Ben Roethlisberger:beer:
It may seem crazy to list Ben Roethlisberger as underrated, but that's what he is.
Too often, the NFL works in very short-sighted ways. We look only at those players who were dominant in the previous season instead of looking at long-term success. That's what happens when fans and media members list the best quarterbacks. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are mainstays, but Roethlisberger should be too, considering his level of play over the last nine seasons.
The fact that Big Ben has made just two Pro Bowls goes a long way in validating why Pro Bowl voting is a joke.
