Who is the most underrated player on the Rams right now?​

Everyone knows the big-name players on the Los Angeles Rams. Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp. But games aren’t won by just four or five players. And for the Rams last season, it was a bunch of lesser-known studs who stepped up to help L.A. field the No. 1 defense and reach the divisional round of the playoffs.

When looking at the Rams’ current roster, it’s easy to pick out players who are underrated. Darious Williams immediately comes to mind, as does Jordan Fuller, Sebastian Joseph-Day, Robert Woods and Tyler Higbee.

Pro Football Focus picked the most underrated player on each team in the NFL right now and for the Rams, Williams was the guy.

“Dating back to college, Darious Williams really doesn’t have any bad tape to his name over any extended period. He assumed the No. 2 corner job in Los Angeles last season and proceeded to earn a top-10 PFF grade, allowing just 48.7% of passes thrown into his coverage to be caught for a passer rating of only 55.4.”

Ramsey is an elite cornerback in his own right, but Williams shouldn’t be overlooked. He’s not known nationally by most casual fans, but he put together a phenomenal 2020 season, which was his first as a starter.

With Troy Hill gone, Williams will become an even bigger part of the secondary and presumably see an uptick in playing time, too. Despite being such an important piece of the defense, he played just 80.5% of the snaps in 2020 compared to 94.9% for Hill.

Fans everywhere will become more aware of Williams’ name this season as he looks to make a push for the Pro Bowl.

I wouldn't say underrated, he's one of Wussell's favorite receiving targets. They're quite well acquainted with each other.

You beat me to it kind of…the most underrated Ram is Russell Wilson

 

[dang]

I know we all know how great he is...but Whit is the most underrated player on the Rams roster. He and Bobby Trees turned the Rams offense around IMMEDIATELY in 2017. IMO his play, attitude and leadership are unmatched by any other OL in the league. Look at his salary??? He’s worth 2-3 times his cap hit. I hope and pray the Rams have already agreed to bring him on as a coach when he decides to retire.

Underrated to casual fans is going to be different than underrated to us. I don't think I would call DWill underrated by us. I think Brockers was somewhat underrated by many of us. Maybe SJD? Higbeast? Corbett?

Good post. I agree on SJD and Higbee.

I think it’s Rob Havenstein. He’s been a steady, reliable player for most of his career, but he’s constantly spoken of as an expendable piece.

 

[Juice]

I would say Sebastian Joseph Day as my pick. Very reliable, and great against the run. You can tell he loves the game of football.

It's DWill for sure. I'll go back to a previous post where i stated what i see on our rival boards...and i see a lot of uninformed fans spitting out things like we don't have much defensive talent outside of AD & Ramsey. If those fans were paying any attention they'd know who DWill is because he would start over almost all of the CB's on their own roster.

 

[PARAM]

I don't know.
Taylor Rapp?
Johnny Mundt?
Joe Noteboom?

 

[Mojo Ram]

I'm REALLY hoping that the Rams spend on DWill and a quality vet LT next offseason. Priority one.

 

[Neil039]

IMO it’s the d-linemen rotation: SJD, Gaines, and hopefully in the future the Brown(s).

Darrell Henderson

For as small as he is he's a tough runner and led all our backs with a 4.5 average per carry last year.

How has Matthew Stafford fared against each of the Rams’ 2021 opponents in his career?

Matthew Stafford has faced each of the Rams' 2021 opponents at least twice, except for the Lions.

I think Wolford may be our most underrated player. I like having him as a backup to Stafford. It seems somewhere around half of us don’t think he’s very good (if I had to guess.)

This is a good point. Most Rams fans know he's a stud but a lot of other fans don't.

I was quite surprised no teams offered us a first round pick or other compensation in return for DWill such as KC or Dallas.

 

[CanadaRam]

Surprised by all the DL. When AD was hurt in playoffs, nobody stepped up.
Rams were criticized by many for giving DWilliams a first round tender. That is underated imo.

Floyd. High end pick who can still get better. Strong side terror.
