NFL's most underappreciated players: One for each NFC team

Mr. Marcus...

Sadly, idiot talking heads and casual fans only remember him for one play as a rookie...

And most ignore Payton's play-calling, game management that let the Vikes back into the game...

Do you think the Saints will look to re sign Marcus before his agent's asking price increases? He's only 23 years of age.

Read an article from John Sigler - Marcus is tied with All Pro Bears safety Eddie Jackson (who recently got paid) with 10 interceptions since 2017.

My biggest concern with MW is his inability to tackle in space. Gotta clean that up.

Well, irregardless of the flaws we see in PFF's subjective grading, he's still regarded as one of the top three free safeties in the league, and Honestly, I'd re-sign Mr. Marcus before Kamara...

First, he's been healthy and will likely stay healthy and play longer than Kamara, a running back who's already showing signs of wear, tear...

Second, he's still really young and has already played in some pretty big games...

Third, Marcus hasn't had any trouble or drama, so he's a guy you can build around for the coming years...

Finally, and most importantly, he's played really well for us and has made his share of plays - folks forget he flipped the momentum in that 2017-18 Vikings Playoff Game with that interception and return...

All valid arguments. And for the most part he's been available (see David O new deal) on Sundays.

I'm hopeful Marcus performs at a high level in 2020
