***WARNING! POST CONTAINS POSITIVE INFO ABOUT A COUPLE OF OUR PLAYERS***
PFF listed their 5 most underrated players in each conference. A couple of our guys made their SEC list. I don't think AA is underrated by Hog fans; I think most acknowledge how good he is. Cornelius probably doesn't get enough love though...
2. Austin Allen, QB, Arkansas
Quarterbacks are rarely underrated, but not enough people are talking about the Arkansas signal caller and how good he has been this season. The highest-graded quarterback in the SEC, he has excelled when kept clean, and held up pretty well under pressure too. Without pressure, Allen has completed 76.2 percent of his passes, good for the third-best mark in the nation, and best in the SEC. When pressure has gotten there, he is still completing 40.6 percent of his passes, which is a significant drop, but still ranks sixth in the SEC.
3. Jared Cornelius, WR, Arkansas
We spend a lot of time talking about how good the SEC is defensively, but Arkansas boast the nation’s top slot receiver right now, even if it’s not something that is widely known. Jared Cornelius has produced 19 receptions for 379 yards from 109 routes run from the slot. That gives him an average of 3.48 yards per route run from the slot, the best mark in the nation. He has also shown a safe pair of hands, and has dropped just two of the 68 catchable passes thrown his way over the past three seasons.
Here's the rest of the list, if interested.
