Probably because everyone talks about Eli Manning, who, in my opinion, is just barely an above average quarterback. The Giants have won because of their running game featuring Jacobs and their defense. Jacobs should get more acclaim. He's very big and very fast, extremely tough to bring down.

Because nobody has seen him play much. He didn't play a lot even in Europe. I think that he will be very good, but I'm guessing just as much as anybody else.

1. It's true that we haven't seen much of him since he played in Europe. The only way you could have watched him play was if you were a real fan and followed him or through clips of his stint in Europe where he struggled a bit. Based on his clips and stats, maybe it was just all hype that's he's good and all. But you can't just base it on his stats since that experience will really benefit him in the NBA.

2. Well, he is underrated coming into this draft that's why he's being projected to land somewhere in the middle of the first round (but should still be a lottery pick). But he has been talking a lot of how good he is and that he should be taken ahead of Rubio, which makes me think that he's hyping his stock up.

Watch this Brandon Jennings interview: Jennings on Rubio "I think the dude is all hype"

Skip to the 5 minute mark.

What do you think? Quite a funny video and I don't think Jennings will not be that underrated anymore after all the talk he did. Maybe people will now notice him some more. But I hope he delivers in the NBA since this kid has talent and skill.
