Overrated/Underrated Redskins

[The Dull Roar]

Overrated: Chase Minnifield

I've heard a lot of people rave about how good of a player Chase will be this year because they've heard about how much the coaches loved him during last years training camp. But given the micro-fracture injury and torn acl being coupled with his less than ideal measurements, I just don't believe he has much of a shot of making the 53 man roster.

Underrated: Brandon Meriweather

I know this might be a slightly controversial one to say as the most underrated player currently on the team but I think Meriweather is a huge asset to our defense. He fits the defensive scheme perfectly because he great in the box (especially if it comes to blitzing from the strong safety position).

A prime example of Meriweather coming in and really making a difference for our defense immediately was the first eagles game last year. In that one quarter or two he was a prime reason why our defense actually looked competent. If he can stay healthy, he will be a big upgrade for our struggling defense this year.
