The NFL is full of underrated players that most casual fans may not even know unless they play for the home team. These players are the backbone of the team and play critical parts in winning a championship. Sometimes they are underrated because of the market they play in and receive no national attention or because their fans build up unattainable expectations that the players can never achieve. Here are those five underrated players NFL teams should be lucky to have. Donovan McNabb - Philadelphia Eagles Despite the fact McNabb plays in the city of Brotherly love, there seems to be no love lost when it comes to McNabb's performance. Since he was drafted in 1999, McNabb has completed 58% of his passes for 29,320 yards with 194 touchdowns and 90 interceptions. McNabb boasts the third best touchdown to interception ratio in the history of the NFL behind Tom Brady and Steve Young. During his ten years in the NFL, McNabb has led the Eagles to five NFC championship games. Even though McNabb was only able to lead his team to one Super Bowl appearance, his playoff performance out performs others, like future Hall of Fame quarterback, Peyton Manning. With Manning under center, the Colts have an overall record of 8 -7, whereas the Eagles with McNabb at the helm, have a 7 - 4 record with less offensive firepower. Yes, McNabb may have not won the big game yet, but he has shown leadership and the ability to bring success to the team he plays for. There is no telling what type of career McNabb would have had if he had more offensive weapons at his disposal. Though he will never go down as one of the top ten quarterbacks of all time, McNabb deserves some consideration when you expand the list to twenty five. Owen Daniels - Houston Texans The moment the you being to discuss the topic of top tight ends in the NFL, names like Tony Gonzalez, Jason Witten, or Dallas Clark come to mind. One name that should be on the tip of everyone's tongue is the Texans, Owen Daniels. In 2008,

Ever since Eric Mangini took over in Cleveland the quarterback situation there has been curious, and tenuous at best. When he first got the job everyone expected Mangini to tab Brady Quinn as his starting quarterback heading into off season camps and training camp. He refused to do so, in fact, he refused to name a starting quarterback at all.

When it comes to passing defenses in the NFL this season, there are none like the Detroit Lions who make sure every opposing quarterback has their best game of the year.

There have been a couple of new developments over the past day or so around the league. Another team makes a quarterback change while another sticks with what they have.

Brett Favre does the Minnesota Vikings a self-proclaimed favor by returning as quarterback. That means QB Sage Rosenfels' future with the Vikings is doomed. Ugh.

Getting a stud running back for your quarterback to hand the ball off to is essential in winning your fantasy football league.  Without a top notch runner...

For the past month or so the Vikings have made no real secret about their desires to have Brett Favre as their quarterback next season.  The team seems to...

One of the biggest questions for the Dallas Cowboys in 2009 is whether Tony Romo will be able to be the franchise quarterback everyone thought after the 2006 season.

True freshman quarterback, Matt Barkley, had the best game to date of his young Trojans' career as he helped carry Southern Cal to a wild 34-27 victory in a tough road match-up against Notre Dame.

It will be one for the ages today as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, led by star quarterback Jimmy Clausen, continue a rivalry against the USC Trojans that has been incredibly one-sided in recent years. Winners of the last seven games against the Irish, the Men of Troy enter today's match-up against Notre Dame riding the shoulders of true freshman phenom, Matt Barkley.
