"Overrated" talk following Troy Polamalu this off-season

Is the 2010 Defensive Player of the Year, the most over-rated player in the NFL?

According to some National Football writers, Polamalu is.

On the national scene, talk of Polamalu being overrated first came from SI's Peter King last week who ranked Polamalu as the 50th best player in the NFL.

King's main reasoning for the ranking was injuries and the fact that his rankings were also for how he saw players performing in 2011.

The biggest knock though on Polamalu has come from CBSSports.com Senior Writer Pete Prisco who called Polamalu the most overrated player in football, saying great quarterbacks expose Polamalu, and that he isn't great in coverage and the NFL is now a cover game.
