Dave Portnoy labels Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert as overrated NFL players

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy identified Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert as the most overrated players in the NFL. Portnoy excluded both teams from his top 10 rankings for the 2026 season, citing his concerns regarding the postseason performance of both quarterbacks. While Jackson has earned two MVP awards, critics point to his playoff record as a reason for skepticism. Similarly, questions surround Herbert due to his 0-3 career postseason record entering the 2026 campaign. Despite these criticisms, both players remain highly regarded in other analytical rankings. Jackson was recently ranked second among quarterbacks by Sportsnet, and Herbert appeared at number 39 on the 2026 NFL Top 100 list. Portnoy stated that his assessment focuses on performance in high-stakes games where he believes these players have not met expectations.
