Anthony Treash with Pro Football Focus took time to also recognize those players that may have been underrated throughout 2019. On his list of players were four B1G performers that had solid years for their teams.

Here are the B1G players listed:

  • Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota
  • Peyton Ramsey and Michael Penix Jr., QBs, Indiana
  • Antoine Winfield Jr., S, Minnesota

Here’s a bit of what the article had to say about Bateman’s season:

The difference between last year to this season for Bateman all boils down to his route-running improvement and ability to get open downfield. He ran just as many vertical routes in 2018 as he did in 2019, but he’s gotten open far more this season. In fact, his percentage of targets deemed “open” (more than a step of separation) climbed from 18% in 2018 to 35% in 2019 on targets of 10 or more yards.
