I admittedly missed the front end of the Culberson debate, but doesn't the mere fact that Culberson has put himself in a position to start, in light of the very reasons you cite as evidence that he is overrated, e.g., lack of record setting stats, failure to reach "elite status" as a college player and modest pre-draft rankings, more likely render him UNDER-rated by definition?

that yes he could be underrated as a professional because he put himself in that position. I was simply stating that his college career was not what you would expect from a high school All-American. Based on his combine numbers, and the defenses he was a part of at Mississippi State I doubt anyone thought he would be in this position. I am happy he is. I am just saying that I expected more out of his college career than what it was because of his hype coming out of high school. I doubt many of us thought Kevin Dockery would win a Super Bowl ring but he did. I guess that sometimes when certain players are put into a professional environment it provides the boost they needed to reach their full potential. I'm sure that the lack of success that Culberson had at MSU probably was not the most motivating thing to have to deal with.
