I'm tempted just to swallow my pride and say Bryan Thomas, because I've hated on him so much over the years and he's actually a sufficient starter, but ya know what? Fuck cacti. If Jerricho Cotchery and David Harris aren't nationally-recognized names yet, they will be after this season.
Before I answer.... Under rated by whom?......... Jets fans with knowledge? Moore, Ellis Casual Jets fans? (Woman, Bandwagon, idjits, etc) Davis Harris Other Teams Fans? Davis Harris
I still gotta go with Jimmy Leonard. The guy make huge plays is always playing hard, He gets some fan fair but I think his importance to this team is at time over looked.
Pouha isn't even a name some Jets fans know and he was just great last year. Moore is also underrated but at least most people know who he is.

He has a rep for being a big hitter more than a big play turnover guy, but if you have listened to Rex, he wants Pool to ball hawk more and not worry as much about making the big hit, the sure tackle. The rap on Pool was the concern over concussions, but Pool claims he's had only one. If he can stay healthy, people here are gonna be amazed at how good this guy is. I predict 6 INT's, 3 forced fumbles, fewer tackles/game in this defense. Cleveland has sucked for years, teams didn't have to throw much against them. Pool is a bigger pickup than Jayson Taylor.
Thomas.rock solid against the run and efficient in pass coverage.doesn't miss tackles and everyone here hates him.the very definition of underrated
Cotchery feels the love hardcore from Jets fans so he's definitely not underrated by us, but definitely by other team's fans. Leonhard is overlooked because he's not at a sexy position, but Jets fans truly know his worth. But it's no question David Harris. Totally overlooked. Dude is a fucking machine. I'm even throwing out an honorable mention on Revis just because fans of other teams, coughravenscough, seem to think it's a good idea to go after him and talk shit like it doesn't matter that he's back. Wait until Monday night you cocksuckers.
I went with Ellis because he is the longest tenured Jet and had been underrated, even by many posters here, for most of his career.
With a winning 44 votes, Brandon Moore has clearly demonstrated that he is not the most underrated Jet.
