Renaldo Wynn. He's been consistantly consistant, great at playing the run. He's not going to give us 10 sacks a season, or maybe not even 3. However, he plays the run and does his job in this defense. His job is to occupy and keep the line busy for the blitzers. I think he is highly under-rated on our defense. Good team guy too, he took a fairly large paycut (from what I remember) to help clear up some cap room.
I think Robert Royal is under-utilized and under-appreciated. He has great hands and very good body control from what I've seen. I think he's enough of a blocker (though that could improve) that he can keep teams honest, but I think he could become a big passing threat for the skins during his career. I'd like to see us build more shots to the TE. I like his matchups on most of the leagues LBs.
Phillip Daniels.........is the most underrated, hasn't had a chance to show, his true talent...:doh:

Salave'a and Noble are tied.

Cornelius Griffin definitely. How could he not start in the Pro Bowl. Springs is good, but he's been to the PB before. Harris was extremely solid at nickelback last season; he'll be an adequate replacement for Smoot until Rogers is ready.

The whole team...
No doubt.
To choose one player, I might go with Tom Tupa. Everyone makes hay about field position, and how important the defense will be. All Tupa did last year (despite a career high in attempts) was kick for a 44.1 yard average (3rd in the NFL, 1st in the NFC), and drop 30 punts inside the 20. With last year's offensive woes, he had to punt in some rough spots - this year, the offense shouuld improve, and so will his opportunities.
Also, nobody picks the punter, so's I got's to give my love.

No doubt! I told the fans around me in Pittsburgh at that game Tupa was our MVP.

I have to go with Griffin as well. I can't believe he didn't make it to the Pro Bowl last year. Another one is Salave'a. He's a great run stopper.
Robert Royal is another one. He gets no love from anyone. Everyone is always talking about upgrading at TE, but I think we're fine with Royal.

I think Brunell is the most underated player. He through some of the best deep ten yard balls that I have seen in a long time. Just because there was no receiver in the area was not his fault. If he gets in this year he will show use how he can heave the ball 15 yards if he is just given 15 seconds to get his arm cranked up. Ramsey better look sharp because Brunell will be waiting in the wind.
