Im no professional. Shoot, I don't even watch all the games (though I'd like to), but I've heard a few talking heads say that Rankins is one of the most underrated football players in the league. I have no proof of this other than I specifically remember Brian Baldinger doing a segment of Baldy's Breakdowns on the Twitter (I highly recommend anyone suffering from Twitter to check those out) focusing on Rankins and what he does that no one notices. Holding up two blockers is a strength of his.
