Most overrated NFL players: The history of the National Football League is filled with stories of all-time great players who have reputations that will live on for as long as American Football is beloved by millions and millions of fans. Names such as Joe Montana, Walter Payton, Lawrence Taylor, Jerry Rice and so many others all helped build the foundation for what many see as the best professional sports league in North America if not in all of the world, one that is watched by somewhere around 30 million people in the United States alone 17 weeks out of the year.

The NFL is the king of the sports world in the western hemisphere, and that is going to be the case for the foreseeable future.
As with any league that draws such massive attention, the NFL also has a long list of players who have been overrated by fans and analysts alike. That list includes a quarterback who famously won a Super Bowl and who is in the Hall of Fame, a man more so remembered because of his lifestyle and for his reputation than he is known for his great play. He remains an all-time favorite among fans of the team that he featured for during the bulk of his pro playing days because he won a championship, but those who would rank him as one of the greatest to ever play the QB position are mistaken.
20. Joe Montana
Joe Montana is routinely listed as one of the most overrated players in the history of the NFL because of the fact that he played alongside of one of the best supporting casts the league has ever seen. Anybody who does not believe that Dan Marino, as an example, would not have won several championships if gifted with starting on those incredible San Francisco 49ers teams are either kidding themselves or were not watching the NFL during the 1980s. The truth of the matter is that we will never know how great Montana was because he never really had to be all that historic.
