Another underrated player was drafted in the 8th round when the draft had more then 7 rounds.
WR Mark Clayton - 77 TDs with Marino

Who's the most underrated player in Dolphins history?
- Thread starter Danny
- Start date
3 others that might be deserving are 1) Jeff Cross - 8th round pick, who was a good pass rusher and very underrated. 2) Ron Heller - came over from Philadelphia and manned the RT spot for a few years under Shula. 3) Roy Foster - a 1st round pick, who played very well at LG for many years.

Lots of good names there guy. I was going to say Tony Nathan but somebody beat me to it.. Tim Ruddy also........of course we had Langer and Stevenson before him which is hard to follow but he was very solid.

What does it mean underrated?
i like OPs call on Kuchenberg -
Bryan Cox was a total game changer - he was on special teams and started fights with other team’s players his sheer will and attitude made a soft team formidable.
offerdahl was great but not underrated really...everyone knew he was amazing.
I thought Terry Kirby was such a great player because Dan really ended up trusting him and he would make opposing defenses crazy because he was such a reliable player.
Duper and Clayton are not in the HOF and they need to be - OMG they were both fantastic- electric! If not being credit due is the definition- those 2 plus Dan changed the NFL - lit it up!!!

John Denney. With him there was no screw ups, job done every long snap.

Any great from the 70s teams can be considered. Plenty of HOF caliber dudes back then.
That's who I was going to say. He was my favorite underrated player on Miami. Trace Armstrong gets an honorable mention.
Cross and Coleman is why i wanted to wear 90 or 91 in highschool. loved them both

That was a real blow to the D when he had to retire.
Have to go Zach as the fact he isn't in HOF is blasphemous. Second place to me would go to Brock Marion.
My all time favorite Dolphin. Or close. Was an all pro w Griese. Career was all but over and Marino comes along and revives it. Tony Nathan was another excellent player who was so underrated- excellent rushing average, a lot of yards, great receiver out of backfield and could block. One of the most complete backs we’ve ever had. I couldn’t believe it when he didn’t make the fins all time top 100 players list last year.
