2011's Most Overrated Steelers
3. Casey Hampton. "Snack" is a good nose tackle, but he's as overrated as he is over weight. He never generates a pass rush, and contrary to what the media obsessively reports, it does not take three men to block him. He's only marginally better than his back up, but paid a whole lot more. Maybe he should put his money where his mouth is.
2. Rashard Mendenhall. Rashard spun his way into trouble this off season with ridiculous quotes about slavery and Osama Bin Laden. Not surprisingly, he fumbled last week on 9/11. Of course, Rashard doesn't discriminate--he's willing to fumble in the worst possible situations. Any way you spin it, he's overrated.
1. Hines Ward. By slow, I don't mean Hines is unintelligent. By slow,I mean that Hines is about as fast as Casey Hampton. He's had a terrific career, but he has no business playing ahead of Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown. Opposing secondaries can shift their coverages towards Mike Wallace without any risk, because Ward isn't fast enough to get downfield on his routes. It's a cryin shame, ya know?Honorable mention: James Farrior, Troy Polamalu
