As the 2023 NFL Draft approaches, teams are gearing up for the big day by assessing the vast pool of talent available. It's easy to get swept up in the hype around certain players, but some of the most talented prospects can get overlooked. To give them the recognition they deserve, we've rounded up the most underrated player at each position in this year's draft.
At quarterback, North Dakota State's Trey Lance is a dual-threat player with a strong arm, good accuracy, and leadership skills that make him a top candidate for success in the NFL. Running back Oklahoma State's Chuba Hubbard is a powerful runner with speed, vision, and the ability to be a complete back at the next level.
The wide receiver position is filled with explosive talent, but Florida's Kadarius Toney is an underrated playmaker with great hands, route-running ability, and speed. Iowa's Sam LaPorta is an overlooked tight end with size, hands, and a red-zone presence that could make him a reliable target at the NFL level.
Offensive lineman Kenyon Green from Texas A&M is a powerful blocker with excellent technique, strength, and agility to succeed in the running game. On the defensive side of the ball, Michigan's Kwity Paye is an explosive pass-rusher with speed, strength, and agility to disrupt opponents' backfield.
Linebacker TCU's Garret Wallow is a versatile player with excellent instincts and speed to make plays in the running game and in coverage. Defensive back Virginia Tech's Caleb Farley is a physical player with good speed and instincts who can make plays in coverage.
