Every NFL team has players flying under the radar, players rarely recognized as being great. We take a look at the most underrated in the AFC West.

The AFC West is one of the most talented divisions in all of football with two legit Super Bowl contenders right now in the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers as well as a recent Super Bowl champion in the Denver Broncos.

All four teams in the AFC West have made the playoffs within the last four years. This is a talented division with a lot of very talented players, some of which are flying comfortably under the radar.

Hopefully not much longer.

We’re going to take a look at four players in the AFC West who are criminally underrated. The title of ‘most’ underrated formerly belonged to Chris Harris Jr. of the Denver Broncos, and while the cornerback still doesn’t get enough due, I think he’s long passed the point of being universally underrated.

But Broncos fans will tell you, the definition of a player being underrated is playing at a high level for a long enough period of time that general NFL fandom should be taking notice.
