Why Jets' John Franklin-Myers will replace Grady Jarrett as NFL's most underrated defensive tackle in 2021

After years as the NFL's most underrated defensive tackle, Grady Jarrett will finally shed that label this season and graciously pass it to John Franklin-Myers of the Jets. Jarrett -- after an inauspicious rookie season in 2015 in a part-time role -- took a distinct step in Year 2 and was essentially the same player in his third season. It was in Year 4 that Jarrett drifted from above-average disruptor to legitimate star. The only problem: By 2018, when he genuinely arrived on the scene with 53 pressures in only 463 pass-rushing opportunities, the Falcons were two years removed from their Super Bowl appearance, and Atlanta had football's third-worst defense, according to Football Outsiders' DVOA.
