It didn’t take long for the Tennessee Titans to realize they had a problem at quarterback this season.
But hardly anyone expected former Miami Dolphins signal-caller Ryan Tannehill to accomplish what he has in Nashville after taking the reins in the third quarter of a shutout loss the Denver Broncos.
So it comes as no surprise that he’s been recognized as one of the NFL’s must underrated players.
Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley and Denver Broncos free safety Justin Simmons also made the list.

Since Tannehill has taken over, he’s completed 128-of-176 passing for 1,602 yards with 12 touchdowns and four interceptions.
He also had a solid game in last week’s 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts, delivering on 17-of-22 pass attempts for 182 yards for two touchdowns, and took care of the football, finishing the contest without an interception.
Tannehill and the Titans will look to extended their winning streak to four games as they face the Oakland Raiders at 3:25 p.m. CT on Sunday in Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
