As a longtime analyst, NFL legend Tony Gonzalez has kept close tabs on the league, even after his retirement over a decade ago.

Gonzalez’s wealth of knowledge from his 16-year playing career has aided him in dissecting games and analyzing players’ strengths and weaknesses. While football has vastly changed over the years, his expertise and credibility cannot be ignored.

Ahead of Week 10, Gonzalez was asked who will win between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. He had an easy pick: The Steelers.

“Defensively, they are balling right now. They are third in points allowed this year. Really good against the run. Jalen Ramsey is playing outstanding football, the best he’s played in a couple of years. I love TJ Watt and what he’s doing on offense. You talk about Aaron (Rodgers), but this is a running football team,” said the 10-time All-Pro on Prime.

Gonzalez then made special mention of Jaylen Warren.

“Jaylen Warren is a bad boy. He’s getting downhill. I think he’s probably the most underrated football player in the whole NFL.”

Truly, Warren has been phenomenal in his fifth year, providing Pittsburgh with a dynamic and dependable offensive weapon. He has 119 carries for 704 yards and two touchdowns, plus 25 receptions for 294 yards and a score.

The 28-year-old running back is on pace to register career-high numbers across the board, and it is not a coincidence that the Steelers are atop the AFC North with a 6-2 record, including a four-game winning streak.

In Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts, Warren became the first player in team history to record a 50-yard rushing score and an 80-yard scoring catch in the same game.
