Q. It could be Keyshawn Johnson even, I mean he's not really overrated now but use to be in the early years of his career. I would say Aaron Brooks, Deuce McAllister, Ricky Williams, Michael Vick, Mike McKenzie, Al Harris, Chad Johnson, Terrell Owens, and Keyshawn Johnson! Everyone thinks they're the best, but they aren't really! There's more overrated players even, but these are the main one's!

A. Although I'd love to say Donovan McNabb, the most overrated player is Michael Vick. I have never seen a player with more pre-draft & post-draft hype and less production. 5 years in the league now & very little to show for it. He's got a cannon for an arm but bad, bad accuracy. When he's running, he's deadly, but it's not equating into very many wins. (How come whenever someone asks for "the most" etc..., everyone feels the need to answer with a top 10 instead of their "most" ___ ?)
