The Top 10 most overrated CFL players in 2025 (Ranked)

🏈 The Top 10 Most Overrated CFL Players in 2025 (Ranked)

10. DB Thomas Miles (BC Lions)

Despite his high reputation and physical tools, Miles has been inconsistent in coverage this season and hasn’t delivered the lockdown performances fans expected.

9. RB Kaion Julien-Grant (Montreal Alouettes)

A fan favourite with big-play ability, but injuries and lack of sustained production have made his impact less significant than his reputation suggests.

8. WR Jake Harty (Saskatchewan Roughriders)

Experienced and reliable in past seasons, but this year he’s struggled to create separation and has been overshadowed by emerging receivers.

7. DL Mathieu Betts (Montreal Alouettes)

A dominant presence in previous years, Betts has been less disruptive in 2025, with fewer pressures and sacks than his billing would imply.

6. LB Micah Awe (Toronto Argonauts)

A leader on paper, but his overall numbers have dipped and he hasn’t consistently been a game-wrecker in key situations.

5. WR Jake Wieneke (BC Lions)

High expectations after breakout seasons, but 2025 has been quieter for Wieneke — fewer explosive plays and dropped opportunities have dropped him down this list.

4. DB Sherrod Baltimore (Calgary Stampeders)

A reputation as a shutdown corner hasn’t translated into elite numbers this season, especially when matched against top receivers.

3. RB Ka’Deem Carey (Ottawa Redblacks)

Still a capable runner, but Carey’s yardage and breakaway threats haven’t matched the hype of previous CFL campaigns.

2. QB Dakota Prukop (Toronto Argonauts)

Highly rated for his dual-threat ability, Prukop has had flashes but also costly turnovers and streaky play, leaving some fans questioning whether he’s truly elite.

1. QB Michael O’Connor (BC Lions)

Touted as one of the league’s premier quarterbacks, O’Connor has struggled to consistently impact games in 2025. High expectations after past success haven’t aligned with performance, making him this season’s most overrated player on paper.
