2022 NFL season: Most overrated player on all 32 NFL teams

Detroit Lions: D’Andre Swift, RB

It has been quite some time since the Detroit Lions had much to talk about on the offensive side of the ball, but that could change in 2022. Jared Goff returns for another season at quarterback, and the team seems high on him, while D’Andre Swift returns as the feature back.

Swift has been a solid player since being selected in the second round a few years back, possessing the ability to get the job done on the ground, and through the air. However, to become the kind of RB1 this team needs to make an impact in the NFC North, he has to be much better, including staying healthy enough to play a full season.

Green Bay Packers: Robert Tonyan, TE

One of the big stories of the 2022 offseason was Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and whether or not he would be back for another go-around this season. Rodgers did return, but his No. 1 option in the passing game did not, as Davante Adams signed on with the Las Vegas Raiders.

With Adams gone, Rodgers will have to lean on a young wide receiver group, as well as Robert Tonyan at tight end. Tonyan is a solid tight end but has yet to take the big step forward, something that will be required of him this upcoming season.
