Arkansas tailback Knile Davis was one of the top rushing threats in the Southeastern Conference this year. He had a late-season surge with 889 yards over the final six games and finished with 1,183 for the season.

Yet Davis didn’t get included as a first-team all-SEC coaches pick. That led to Davis’ inclusion on a list of Top 5 most underrated players compiled by Dr. Saturday, the college football blog for Yahoo! Sports.

Here’s a portion of what blogger Matt Hinton had to say about Davis:

The Razorback ground game was always destined to toil in the long shadow of quarterback Ryan Mallett, but Davis turned a crowded backfield into a one-man show by midseason, complementing his QB's prolific arm with five 100-yard efforts on the ground in the last six games.

Davis admitted Monday he was a little surprised by how the year ended.

“If you had asked me if I would get a thousand before this season, I would have said you are crazy,” Davis said.

Are folks crazy for not appreciating Davis more? Hinton seems to think so.
