Who’s the most underrated Miami player ever?

[rustywalkedaway]

Clinton Portis. Nobody ever talks about him as one of the best Miami RBs.

And, of course, a Missouri kid named Medearis.

Damian Berry

Dallas Crawford

Jon Beason

Kevin Beard

Todd Sievers

Michael Badgley

Carlos Huerta! One of the best PKs in The U's history.

Are they appreciated by you and some of the other older diehards? Yeah maybe, but whether you realize it or not a lot of the younger folks in this fanbase don't know who either guy is.

If the so-called younger fanbase doesn't know who Medearis and E. Brown are, I suggest they need to read up on them.

Are Medearis and E. Brown appreciated by me and some of the other diehards??...Yeah maybe??....C'mon Bro....both are UM Legends...

 

[SFbayCane]

Warren Williams.

Dude spent four years at UM ('84 - '87) and was never the feature back, always came off the bench. Got drafted in the 6th round in the 1988 draft.

That's when I knew the Canes were loaded, when dudes who didn't even start were getting drafted.

believe it or not, I'd throw Kevin Patrick in there. I remember everyone hyped Darren Krein but Patrick was an animal.

Ryan Mcniel is another older guy NEVER mention.

Loved Ryan....then again, I'm a DB guy...

McNeil is one of my favorites ever. But he had a long NFL career. He's well-known, and got significant recognition during his career.

From my HS...North Ft. Myers

Leonard Conley never played in he league, but was a highly productive college player. His pass catching out of the backfield was great in 1990.

Allen Bailey

 

[passitback]

Sean Spence comes to mind

 

[MumbleRap]

I think this is due to some off field issues, but Mark Walton.
- In 19 starts he had 1,876 yards (99 YPG) & 18 TDs.
(in comparison, in 17 starts Frank Gore had 1,624 yards (95 YPG) & 12 TDs)

- In 31 total games he had 28 TDs..
(in comparison, Ottis Anderson had 22 TDs in 41 total games)

 

[RichtshawFerguson]

CJ Richardson - remember his game-momentum changing INT vs FSU in 1994?
Malcolm X Pearson - remember his endzone INT vs FSU in 1994?
James Stewart - great potential but had other issues, shall we say...

First one I thought of was CJ Richardson too. Secondary as a whole from 94 was underrated. I guess that will happen when you have Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis on the same defense.

 

[ajkreider]

Knowles? Underrated? He was awful. He was on Kacey Rogers, AJ Highsmith level of bad. I'm sure some will bring up his one decent game against FSU, but that guy made me cringe every play he was on the field. Great guy, good teammate, outstanding student athlete, but not a good football player.

Are you thinking of Sheldrick Redwine? He was a bit underrated. Think he finally got some respect and credit by his senior year.

No, thinking Knowles. He wasn't very good, but this board had him as the worst player ever to wear the uniform.

Maybe don’t put on the #20 jersey as a Safety at Miami if you’re gonna play like Knowles did.

One of my favorites.

I’ve always thought CP was highly regarded amongst fans. Most have him somewhere between our 3rd-5th best RB depending on who you ask, and that’s fair. But it’s pretty much a consensus he’s not above EJ or OJ.

Great back and great Cane.
