2022 NFL season: Most overrated player on all 32 NFL teams
New York Jets: Lamarcus Joyner, S
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh is entering his second season at the helm, and the hope for Jets fans is that this team can get themselves on the right track. The Jets have been a doormat in the AFC East for years, but there is hope now that they have a young quarterback in Zach Wilson.
Turning to the defensive side of the ball, the Jets added two first-round picks this April, bringing in edge rusher Jermaine Johnson and cornerback Sauce Gardner. They should help this defense improve, but veteran Lamarcus Joyner must be better at safety against three divisional offenses that should be solid in 2022.
Philadelphia Eagles: Miles Sanders, RB
The Philadelphia Eagles are hoping that Jalen Hurts can take a step forward in 2021, after a solid rookie year that saw him make plays with both his arm and his legs. Hurts’ development is crucial for the success of the franchise, but so is the growth of their young running back Miles Sanders.
Sanders played in 16 games as a rookie but has not played in more than 12 since, and the production just has not been there. If Hurts is going to succeed, he needs more from his running back, and at only 24 years old, Sanders’s best years could be still in front of him.
