“Just because a player is overrated doesn’t mean they are bad. Kelly is certainly not a bad player by any means. However, Kelly was selected to his third consecutive Pro Bowl in 2021 and if we’re being objective, it may not have been warranted. Kelly had an inconsistent season, allowing 29 total pressures, good for the second-most among centers. Those 29 pressures and three sacks, according to Pro Football Focus, were the most of his career. With Matt Ryan now under center, Kelly is due for a bounce-back season. But his 2021 campaign wasn’t as strong as his Pro Bowl nod may suggest.” – Kevin Hickey, Colts Wire
All three of these players all have massive roles within their given teams, but they each take up a massive bite of their salary cap and don’t play essential positions like quarterback or left tackle. However, all three of the former Tide standouts have plenty of opportunities to prove people wrong in 2022!
