Heroes of the 2021 NFL season that remained unacclaimed
#3 - Davis Mills
Davis Mills was up there with the best rookie quarterbacks during the 2021 NFL season, but he didn't get nearly enough recognition due to the Texans having such a poor year.
Mills was in-and-out of the lineup, often switching with veteran Tyrod Taylor. But in 11 starts, Mills passed for 16 touchdowns with a passer rating of 88.8. His completion percentage was also 66.8 percent, which according to StatMuse, ranks him third in league history for rookies, behind Dak Prescott and Mac Jones.
#2 - AJ Terrell
Atlanta Falcons cornerback AJ Terrell was one of the best corners in football during the 2021 NFL season, but many fans may have overlooked the second-year star due to the Falcons' 7-10 record.
Terrell allowed opposing quarterbacks a passer rating of just 47.5 and permitted just 29 catches for 200 yards all season. He had three interceptions, allowed receivers just 6.9 yards per reception, and was another shocking Pro Bowl snub.
#1 - Hunter Renfrow
Hunter Renfrow blossomed into a top-level wide receiver during the 2021 season, but it can be argued he's still massively underrated. Renfrow had 1,038 receiving yards and nine touchdowns as he was voted to the first Pro Bowl of his career.
The Clemson product has also developed into one of the best route-runners in the NFL, making quarterback Derek Carr's life a whole lot easier as he's consistently open.
