Defensive tackle Zach Sieler was overshadowed by former teammate Christian Wilkins in 2023 but equally productive
Defensive tackle Zach Sieler recently was named as the Miami Dolphins' most underappreciated player by Pro Football Focus, but which other player should get some recognition in that department?
From a statistical perspective, Sieler and Wilkins were near carbon copies in 2023. Sieler had one more sack, yet one less quarterback hit, than Wilkins last season, with more passes defended with four as opposed to two. From a snap count perspective, Sieler actually played 38 fewer defensively than Wilkins did. The special teams snap counts were a near match, at 191-190 favoring Sieler. The comparison of these players from a career viewpoint shows similar results, especially for the main statistic of sacks. In 81 career games, Wilkins has 20.5, and in 76 NFL contests Sieler has 20.
Based on all those factors, it's hard to argue with PFF's stance on Sieler being the most underappreciated Dolphins player.Outside of Sieler, you can find other underappreciated players for the Dolphins on the opposite side of the ball.
