METAIRIE, La. – Though Jermon Bushrod is making a name for himself as one of the better left tackles in the NFL, you’d likely never know it.
The Saints’ fifth-year man who protects quarterback Drew Brees' blindside isn’t flashy. He’s fairly soft-spoken. And he’s not a self-promoter. That few people have written about him the past two seasons and that few stations have run stories about him is a good thing, Saints coach Sean Payton said. “Generally when at left tackle, there’s no new, it’s good news,” he said. “When the cameras are on you, oftentimes it’s because there’s a pressure, a hurry, a sack.” Full article.

Bushrod is underrated. Im not saying he's great, but he is a good LT.

He's a good player.
I have to admit, I was one of the ones who said let him go in free agency, but he has definitely upped his game. He reminds me a lot of Stinchcomb in his prime, not always pretty or textbook, but he gets the job done no matter who lines up across from him. |

He went from below average, to average, to just slightly above average in about 2 years.
He still has room to grow obviously, but he's no longer the liability on the line. We'll probably hear the same thing about Charles Brown in a year or two. We draft 2-3 year projects and are quick to criticise when they don't look like pro-bowlers in year one. Colston, Evans and Nicks have spoiled us. |
