The NFL is filled with players who love doing the dirty work, whether it's grinding out yards or battling in the trenches, which generally paves the way for the household names to take the credit.

We've scoured each NFL roster to find the one player that is deserving of more attention as we head into the 2016 season (the list is in alphabetical order by team).

32. OLB Markus Golden, Arizona Cardinals

​Golden flashed plenty of potential during his rookie season. He played in 15 games (six starts) and accumulated 31 tackles four sacks. With so much star power spread across their starting 11, Golden has the opportunity to rack up double-digit sacks while facing single blocks all season.

31. RT Ryan Schraeder, Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons are desperately trying to do a better job of protecting QB Matt Ryan. The addition of Alex Mack will help, as should the continued strong play of Ryan Schraeder. Pro Football Focus graded him as the second-best right tackle in the league. ​

30. WR/KR Kaelin Clay, Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens added a dynamic special teamer last season and the acquisition paid off. Clay took one punt to the house against the Cleveland Browns and was fourth in the league in average yards per punt return. They've finally replaced Jacoby Jones.

29. OG Richie Incognito, Buffalo Bills

For all of the bad press that has followed Incognito around in recent years, he added a blue collar element to the Bills' line this past season. ​Pro Football Focus ranked him the best left guard (and fourth-best lineman overall) in the entire NFL last season.

28. S Kurt Coleman, Carolina Panthers

​The former Philadelphia Eagles' safety was a star for Carolina's elite defense in 2015. Coleman picked off seven passes while patrolling the Panthers' secondary during their Super Bowl run. He also defended nine passes on the season, which was a career-best.

27. NT Eddie Goldman, Chicago Bears

​The Bears' defense remains a work in progress, but their second-year pro out of Florida State is a reason to be bullish on the Monsters of the Midway moving forward. He recorded 22 tackles and 4.5 sacks during his rookie season and there's a good chance he'll be the best player on the Bears' front seven in 2016.

26. OG Clint Boling, Cincinnati Bengals

​The Bengals' running game took a step backwards in 2015, but that had nothing to do with the play of Boling. According to Pro Football Focus, the veteran guard has maintained a high level of play since 2011 and is a top-20 player at his position, yet he's rarely mentioned.

25. RB Isaiah Crowell, Cleveland Browns

​Crowell finished strong down the stretch for the Browns. He toted the rock 60 times over the last four games of the season and finished with 309 yards and three touchdowns over that span. They'll need more out of him as they sort out a messy quarterback situation in 2016, but he's thrived in that situation before.

24. DE Tyrone Crawford, Dallas Cowboys

​Crawford's versatility came in handy last season, as the former Boise State standout rotated all over the defensive line. He finished the year with five sacks and 35 tackles. He'll be needed more than ever early on in 2016 with both Randy Gregory and DeMarcus Lawrence suspended for the first four games.

23. RB Ronnie Hillman, Denver Broncos

​The Broncos' running game has been an afterthought for the past four seasons, yet Hillman was still able to lead Denver with 863 rushing yards in 2015. As the defending champs work in a new starting QB in 2016, his role will likely increase within the offense, especially since C.J. Anderson has had trouble being effective on a consistent basis.

22. WR Marvin Jones, Detroit Lions

​Jones has spent his career in A.J. Green's shadow, but his new opportunity in Motown will allow him to really shine. He had 10 touchdowns in 2013 and 816 receiving yards last year with Cincinnati. Lions QB Matthew Stafford can't throw every pass Golden Tate's way, which means Jones will be in line for career highs in targets, receptions and yards.

21. S Micah Hyde, Green Bay Packers

Hyde is truly a jack of all trades in America's Dairyland. He finished 2015 with 55 tackles, six passes defended, three interceptions and a pair of fumble recoveries. More importantly, he took two punts to the house as he demonstrated his enormous value on special teams for the Pack.

20. RB Lamar Miller, Houston Texans

​Miller's signing should have garnered more attention this offseason. In addition to his vision as a ball carrier, Miller will also be a threat out of the backfield to catch passes. He caught 85 passes over the last two years in South Beach and was arguably their best offensive player over that span.

19. OG Jack Mewhort, Indianapolis Colts

​The Colts used the draft to reinforce their offensive line, which, with the exception of Mewhort, has been an unmitigated tire fire. Mewhort was above average during his rookie campaign and the coaching staff expects big things out of him in year two.

18. OLB Telvin Smith, Jacksonville Jaguars

​The former fifth-round pick was nothing short of sensational last season for the Jags. He tallied 128 tackles, 2.5 sacks, seven passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a pick-six. Jacksonville's defense is still very much a work in progress, but Smith is an excellent building block.

17. DT Jaye Howard, Kansas City Chiefs

​Dontari Poe rightfully receives a lot of praise for his work in the trenches, but Howard has also been a solid player since arriving from Seattle. In his second season as a starter, Howard finished with 57 tackles, 5.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries, which are tremendous stats for a DT.

16. S T.J. McDonald, Los Angeles Rams

​The Rams' front seven steals all the headlines, but McDonald's play in the secondary has been crucial. Now that LA is without the services of Janoris Jenkins and Rodney McLeod, McDonald's value will become even more evident to casual fans of the franchise.

15. S Isa Abdul-Quddus, Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins signed Abdul-Quddus away from the Lions this offseason and he should improve their secondary immensely, especially since he'll be playing alongside Reshad Jones. Abdul-Quddus has managed to stay on the field for every game over the past two seasons. He's a reliable run-stopper and is solid in coverage.

14. DT Tom Johnson, Minnesota Vikings

​The Vikings have steadily improved their roster over the past four years, and hidden gems like Johnson represent the fruits of their labor. The former Saint is a highly disruptive defensive tackle who has racked up 12 sacks in the last two years.

13. OLB Rob Ninkovich, New England Patriots

​Everyone plays in the shadow of Tom Brady, so the list of underrated Pats players is long. In terms of consistency, Ninkovich is the gold standard in New England. He hasn't missed a game in five years and will anchor the defense in 2016.

12. WR Willie Snead, New Orleans Saints

​Drew Brees has a way of making young receivers look really, really good. Snead wasn't as heralded out of college as his fellow rookie teammate Brandin Cooks was, but he was able to finish with a respectable reception total (69) and 984 yards in 2015.

11. P Brad Wing, New York Giants

New York's punter trapped ​opponents inside the 20-yard line on 33 occasions last year (fifth in NFL). The Australian import was an ally of their defense and only allowed 300 punt return yards on the entire season, which should help the Giants even more in 2016 as they improved their defense. He's already making everyone forget about Matt Dodge.

10. OG James Carpenter, New York Jets

​It's amazing what a change of scenery can do for a player. After failing to live up to his potential in Seattle, Carpenter was great last season for the Jets. Pro Football Focus rated him as one of the best run blockers in the entire league and he was far and away the best blocker for New York.

9. CB David Amerson, Oakland Raiders

​Another player plucked out of the bargain basement bin, Amerson has turned things around in Oakland. He defended 25 passes, picked off four and took one to the house last season. He's playing for just $880,123 in 2016, which is chump change for a successful starting cornerback.

8. CB Eric Rowe, Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles invested a second round pick to bolster their secondary and Rowe's play steadily improved ​over the course of the season. He played in all 16 games (starting five) and he's now primed to start in 2016. He has the physical gifts to become a shutdown corner in no time.

7. DE Stephon Tuitt, Pittsburgh Steelers

​The Steelers defense is completely reliant on their pass rush to cover up for their secondary's deficiencies. Pittsburgh's front seven was incredibly disruptive and finished the season with the third-most sacks in the NFL. Tuitt finished the season with 6.5 sacks himself in his second NFL season (first as a starter).

6. OLB Melvin Ingram, San Diego Chargers

​Ingram's career got off to a slow start and he struggled to even stay on the field for the Bolts. However, last season, Ingram started all 16 games for San Diego and delivered 10.5 sacks. He also forced three fumbles while bringing consistent pressure off the edge.

5. S Jimmie Ward, San Francisco 49ers

At first it was thought Ward was a draft bust, but his sophomore campaign really blew everyone away. Primarily a nickel corner, the youngster also played some safety and was a huge help for defensive coordinator Eric Mangini. He played in all 16 games last year, including eight starts, and should be a big part of the Niners' secondary in 2016.

4. WR Doug Baldwin, Seattle Seahawks

Baldwin set personal bests in receptions, yards and touchdowns last season. With the Seahawks now facing a Marshawn Lynch-less future, Baldwin's role will only increase. He should see enough targets from Russell Wilson for 100 receptions to be in play​. Oh yeah, and he led the NFL with 14 receiving touchdowns last year.

3. RT Demar Dotson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

​If reports are accurate that Dotson's knee is fully healthy, he'll be a key contributor for the Bucs this fall. The mammoth road-grader has proven himself to be a dominant run blocker. Pro Football Focus has given him a positive grade for five straight seasons.

2. S Da’Norris Searcy, Tennessee Titans

​The Titans' defense was a pleasant surprise last season and Searcy was a big reason why. The former Buffalo Bill safety was a stabilizing force in Tennessee's secondary and finished the season with 55 tackles, four passes defensed and one interception.

1. K Dustin Hopkins, Washington Redskins
