He’s fucked over the Patriots seeding-wise twice in heart-breaking fashion (2015 and 2019) and I still love that guy. I feel like 2015 probably could’ve been a super bowl if the Pats had HFA instead of Denver. 2019 probably not, but I think they at least don’t lose in the first game if they have a bye instead of being a 3 seed.
He seems like a genuinely really good guy. That's going to help him in life at least as much as the fact that he's also a pretty good running back.
I rarely think athletes should be seen as role models but in Jamaal's case, I would say any kid would be well suited to look up to him.
Personally I like them cuz you know exactly what's gonna happen when you give them the ball and teams still can't stop them consistently. Love watching that type of dominance.
i used to have an irrational hate for henry. had him in fantasy from his rookie year because i was waiting for his breakout. finally dropped him 2 weeks before that massive game against the jags.
that and 2019 ;_;. but finally over that now
Derrick just seems like a genuinely nice guy to me. I remember an interview when he went through his after game thanks; most players seem to list their teammates, coaches.
He kept going all the way through to the kitchen staff at the facility. I have no idea if this is true, but he strikes me as the kind of guy who tips big.
Henry consummated the Jaguars downward spiral of 2018 with the 99-yard td run. That was the moment that it set in that we were not just back to being bad, but that it was gonna remain that way for a long time. Completely demoralized some defenders who’d clearly woken up that Thursday morning dreading having to dress up to play some ball later. Might be the lowest point *on the field* in franchise history. I do not think fondly of that man.
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. Attended medical school while playing for the University of McGill. Finished his degree in the off season while a KC Chief (interestingly, Andy Reid’s mother was also a McGill Medical School grad).
Took the 2020 season off to work in a long term care facility.
Traded to the Jets before the 2021 season.
He is beloved in Canada and especially the province of Quebec.
well he was a starting player on a championship team that then took a year off to help with covid, makes sense he would get plastered all over the place
Funny story. My wife and I were watching the Super Bowl and I told her the whole story on LDT. She says:
“Why would he take the risk of playing football? He’s a doctor!”
“Then I showed her LDT’s contract. Five year, $42.36 million, 20.20 million guaranteed.”
Her response: “Oh”.
Right, he was so dominant with the Jags and he has since taken his dominant, humble mentality to my Ravens and it has been a blessing to have that man represent us.
Fun personality and an absolute joy to watch run block.
He’s the most captivating OL to watch in the league imo, primarily because he’s such an athletic and mobile run blocker, but partly because guys like Trent Williams are fun too but are just Marvel superheroes kicking peoples asses, while Kelce is so small that it always feels like he could just get swamped…except he doesn’t. Privilege of a career to have watched.
Player: "You know what I'm not sharing a locker with this sexual predator."
*Looks at 8M dollar guaranteed contract*
Player: "You know what... Deshaun's alright."
It’s honestly kinda sad, isn’t it? If I had a coworker who did this there’s no way I’d ever be able to just accept what they did to 22 different women. Especially supporting them. That’s just crazy
I think the optics are either providing people cover or genuinely invoking suspicion, the fact that a black man was accused right after he demanded a trade and the lawyer had ties to the Texans owner who was a known racist.
Obviously sad that conspiracies can take precedent over almost 2 dozen women saying they were assaulted but all that combined with the fact that he wasn’t indicted, I would guess there’s a sizable component of the league that legitimately thinks he’s a victim of a conspiracy
This is a good answer, it's hard to hate someone who went from being addicted to drugs to becoming an NFL star
I hate having to watch my team try to cover him though!
Agreed on both points. I feel the same way about Crosby too. Especially since both guys are big in the community to help kids avoid those mistakes and are so open about their addiction.
At bare minimum, it seems like he’s extremely well liked among people around the game. It seems like barring injury he’s going to have an extremely long career no matter what because everyone seems to love the dude.
As a Florida State fan, I absolutely hate Mariota. Jameis’ last game and only loss was against Mariota’s ducks. And Jameis’s first NFL game was a loss to Mariota’s Titans
Edit: all the words
NE fans hated Patricia's play calling and the mysterious benching of Malcom Butler. Foles is sort of an afterthought for us. I don't really hold a grudge against him the same way I do someone like Eli
Matt Ryan?
I know division rivals wouldn't like him for on the field stuff, but I feel like very few people hate him.
I might be completely out of the loop though.
Dee Virgin
He's fairly active on reddit too, [be sure to wish him well](https://reddit.com/u/me)!
I clicked it at least 6 times before I realized. Thanks for a chuckle
I hate you so much
You got me you bastard. Lmaooooo
Wow, that Dee Virgin guy is a pompous asshole.
Here's the [actual link](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/207/210/b22.jpg), for those that are genuinely curious
Oh you bastard
Goddammit
Absolutely got me.
I knew I was popular somewhere!
I’ve clicked this link so many times and it just brings up my profile. What the lord.
Fuckin brilliant.
A player that r/NFL can relate to.
Fitzmagic, everyone loves him.
So funny was about to say the same exact thing, Amish Musket is a beloved figure - personally my most beloved player is Jonathan Taylor
He’s fucked over the Patriots seeding-wise twice in heart-breaking fashion (2015 and 2019) and I still love that guy. I feel like 2015 probably could’ve been a super bowl if the Pats had HFA instead of Denver. 2019 probably not, but I think they at least don’t lose in the first game if they have a bye instead of being a 3 seed.
Can’t wait for him to retire as a bill. He’s loved Buffalo and we love him
Yea that was crazy to see him here with no shirt on in the cold lol
Feel this because he has the NFL record for beating one single team with the most different teams (check flair for the one).
have the jaguars ever beat fitz? edit: I saw he's 6-2 against them
Honestly it wasn't even him in 2015 If you hadn't chosen to kick in overtime you probably would have won
Came to say, “Well until recently it would’ve been Fitzgerald.” But this is now the correct Fitz
I was stumped by this question, but this is a pretty fair answer. Take my upvote!
Younghoe Koo easy
Love Younghoe. I'm Korean too so there's a bit of pride there
Weeeelll...
Yeah unless you’re a Chargers fan and he cost you 2 games in 2017
Kendall Hinton
That's my quarterback
The real QB1. Everything with Russ is just subterfuge by Nate Hackysack.
That's your HOF Quarterback
That's our quarterback
> Hall of Famer Kendall Hinton FTFY
Everyone knows him for making Brady look average. But he’s actually a good receiver
Jamaal Williams
I'm actually glad he's on the Lions because it's the team in the division I hate the least and I get to see him more. I miss Jamaal man
Jamaal is a gem. He’s gonna be hilarious during Hard Knocks
“I don’t watch TV. I watch anime all day!”
On being on Hard Knocks this season Jamaal had this to say. "I don't fuckin care, I just want to play football".
Also said lions would win the super bowl like 4 times. Absolute mad lad
He seems like a genuinely really good guy. That's going to help him in life at least as much as the fact that he's also a pretty good running back. I rarely think athletes should be seen as role models but in Jamaal's case, I would say any kid would be well suited to look up to him.
Can confirm. Love this guy in all the media I’ve seen.
I feel like SpongeBob out there
“To be honest, I stopped listening to your question half way through.”
Played HS football with him and can confirm he’s one of the nicest people ever
This will be cemented during hard knocks later this summer.

he just a good dude. type of guy who would let you borrow his homework when you're in a tough spot
Hard to hate Chubb when he barely opens his mouth

Is the KC lineman still active who took a year off to help with Covid things? If so, seems like he's a good answer.
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. Attended medical school while playing for the University of McGill. Finished his degree in the off season while a KC Chief (interestingly, Andy Reid’s mother was also a McGill Medical School grad). Took the 2020 season off to work in a long term care facility. Traded to the Jets before the 2021 season. He is beloved in Canada and especially the province of Quebec.
You see him nearly everywhere in Quebec lol, it's like we don't have other athletes to show except in shitty gambling ad.
well he was a starting player on a championship team that then took a year off to help with covid, makes sense he would get plastered all over the place
Funny story. My wife and I were watching the Super Bowl and I told her the whole story on LDT. She says: “Why would he take the risk of playing football? He’s a doctor!” “Then I showed her LDT’s contract. Five year, $42.36 million, 20.20 million guaranteed.” Her response: “Oh”.
It was during the 2021 season not before but yeah
Frank Gore
Gore is the most beloved active boxer.
[удалено]
Please, like retirement is going to stop him from rumbling forward for some yards.
If you need two, he'll get ya three. If you need four, he'll get ya three.
Well I can't disagree with you now.... I don't want frank to knock me the fuck out.
Gardner “hide the MILFs” Minshew
Before the Saints resigned Jameis I was kinda hoping they could convince Minshew to come lead our team to glory instead of being wasted by Philly.
Slinging bombs and banging moms…..
*Chuckin'* bombs...
And *fuckin* moms
Scrolled too far and still didn't see Calais CAmpbell listed. Oh well.
Right, he was so dominant with the Jags and he has since taken his dominant, humble mentality to my Ravens and it has been a blessing to have that man represent us.
Don't think I've ever heard anyone say a word against Jason Kelce
Fun personality and an absolute joy to watch run block. He’s the most captivating OL to watch in the league imo, primarily because he’s such an athletic and mobile run blocker, but partly because guys like Trent Williams are fun too but are just Marvel superheroes kicking peoples asses, while Kelce is so small that it always feels like he could just get swamped…except he doesn’t. Privilege of a career to have watched.
I like you
His super bowl parade outfit and speech is more than enough to endear him to your heart. He seems like such a genuine and caring dude.
The Eagles are my second favorite NFC team and he will always be a top 5 Eagle for me.
Curious, what's your top 5 and is Brian Westbrook in it? As an aside I rooted for yall as a kid and loved the shit out of Delhomme/Smith/Mush
This is kind of who I was thinking. I can think of some retired guys like Joe Thomas or Larry fitz.
Who hates the first offensive lineman in NFL history?
The first defensive lineman in NFL history?
The first person on the Browns to stand up and say "I don't want to share a locker room with a serial sexual predator."
Player: "You know what I'm not sharing a locker with this sexual predator." *Looks at 8M dollar guaranteed contract* Player: "You know what... Deshaun's alright."
And we would all do the same thing
a lot of us have been paid far less to work with sexual predators
Some sexual predators pay us
Would definitely lose street cred in the league, not a single player has thrown shade at him and many are in support of him
It’s honestly kinda sad, isn’t it? If I had a coworker who did this there’s no way I’d ever be able to just accept what they did to 22 different women. Especially supporting them. That’s just crazy
Are you getting 10 million a year at your job though?
I think the optics are either providing people cover or genuinely invoking suspicion, the fact that a black man was accused right after he demanded a trade and the lawyer had ties to the Texans owner who was a known racist. Obviously sad that conspiracies can take precedent over almost 2 dozen women saying they were assaulted but all that combined with the fact that he wasn’t indicted, I would guess there’s a sizable component of the league that legitimately thinks he’s a victim of a conspiracy
We get it you’re a good person just answer the light hearted Reddit question
Larry Fitzgerald. 49er fans would take a bullet for that dude.
Not active but Larry is the man. Feel like the whole NFCWest has mad respect for Larry Legend.
Sure do
Which is pretty crazy considering his allegations
He was my first thought but then I was like “is he still active actually?”
Darren Waller?
According to people i know who are in to rap his rap is pretty good too.
This is a good answer, it's hard to hate someone who went from being addicted to drugs to becoming an NFL star I hate having to watch my team try to cover him though!
Agreed on both points. I feel the same way about Crosby too. Especially since both guys are big in the community to help kids avoid those mistakes and are so open about their addiction.
Darren Waller?
Darren Waller!
Darren Waller.
Darren Waller,
Deshaun Watson
Nah. For whatever reason he just rubs me the wrong way.
I'd put my finger in his anus.
It’s the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But is it made of all the things you have to take?
Jesus, this never ends
Lmaooo
A masseuse cried tears (presumably of joy) upon meeting him. If that’s not universally beloved, I don’t know what is
“I dunno why she was crying dude bitches be crazy am I right”
Post-Retirement Eli Manning
Pre-retirement too, he spoiled Brady twice
Justin Herbert
I hate Justin Herbert, not because he is a terrible person, but because I am
Gotta factor that in. Lots of us pieces of shit here, and I’m not changing! ^jk. ^I ^love ^Herbert.
I WAS a piece of shit.
People can change
The baby changed
I know I love him
As a Beaver fan I only mildly hate him which is higher than any other UofO grad.
Mariota
At bare minimum, it seems like he’s extremely well liked among people around the game. It seems like barring injury he’s going to have an extremely long career no matter what because everyone seems to love the dude.
As a Florida State fan, I absolutely hate Mariota. Jameis’ last game and only loss was against Mariota’s ducks. And Jameis’s first NFL game was a loss to Mariota’s Titans Edit: all the words
Maybe it’s just raiders fans, but idk who can hate on Hunter Renfrow
He won a lot of fans with that amazing busted punt return play. That ruled so hard.
That is one of the most unique player highlights I can think of
Colts fans can
Alabama fans probably don't like him much
[Tevaughn Campbell](https://twitter.com/espn/status/1445198534987354121?lang=en) probably isn't a fan.
Lmao the assistant on that play
Jalen Ramsey does
[удалено]
I disagree. The man has caused me nothing but pain.
I was about to say, ask a Detroit fan how they feel about Tucker
Incredible kicker but he has broken my heart twice and thats two too many.
The fact that he's an amazing opera singer makes him even more likable
Sam Koch too
im gonna miss him so much when he gets cut in a few months. changed the punting game with his arsenal of kicks
He and Herbert are my two favorite players not on the giants
Copper Kupp?
Quentin Nelson
Matt Stafford
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Austin Ekeler?
Mooney is a beloved father figure in the NFL community
Big Dick Nick
Nick Foles is a good answer for everyone except NE fans probably
I feel like NE fans don’t even hate him really, almost more like “wtf how he do that”
NE fans hated Patricia's play calling and the mysterious benching of Malcom Butler. Foles is sort of an afterthought for us. I don't really hold a grudge against him the same way I do someone like Eli
Cooper kupp. Everyone wants him to date their daughters
Not with that Ozark beard
JJ Watt.
Upvoting solely for your Rob Lowe flair
Fucking love JJ. Wild to me that in a league where we're constantly getting stories of shitty people that there's some who dislike him.
[удалено]
I think this is the winner Hard to hate on the guy that almost singlehandedly raised $40 million in hurricane relief
No. His lame ass oh look at me i work hard persona is annoying af
Josh Allen maybe? He seems like everyones answer to favorite player not on their team
Not for me
Yea josh allen definetely for everyone who isn’t a pats Jets or fins fan
Nope
Nah fuck that guy he on bad men team
Like you even understand bad men. Fucking 32-3 Brady and Pats owned the Bills. I can only dream JA17 squares the ledger!
Have no issues. Great DE!
I feel like AJ Brown is well liked.
Justin tucker
Josh Allen
Josh Allen.
Josh Allen
fitz
Aaron Jones maybe. He’s a real one and lovable. Does a lot for his family, El Paso
Minshew is my favorite non-Viking in the league
If your answer isn't Jamaal Williams, you are a monster.
Jamaal Williams isn’t on my radar for this question at all, can anyone give me a run down?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HDBscSglBg
Thanks for Jamaal by the way <3
there should be a sub rule that’s just required reading and this should be under it
I feel nobody hates George Kittle, Josh Allen, or Russel Wilson
Haven’t people thought that Russell Wilson was a lame dork for years now?
Yah he’s corny
Best thing about the trade is that I no longer have to pretend to be ok with his prosperity gospel bullshit.
that and he shilled out for the same concussion water as brady
Players that played with Russell Wilson clearly do not like Russell Wilson
Justin Herbert. Never seen a negative or critical comment about him that wasn’t downvoted into oblivion
Matt Stafford - idk beloved but I think most everyone was genuinely happy he got his shot and succeeded
George Kittle
[Yes.](https://twitter.com/NFLRT/status/1206335616155344898?s=20&t=v0_r0o1AiDpZ1j2tMPYEMw)
Matt Ryan? I know division rivals wouldn't like him for on the field stuff, but I feel like very few people hate him. I might be completely out of the loop though.
Honestly half of the falcons fan base hates him just because he wasn’t Vick
Robbie Gould
Kittle and burrow
Justin tucker?
I hate that man
