Who is the Most Popular NFL Player (Nominations)

Recommended Posts

Well it's the offseason, and that means it's time to rejuvenate the board with some ridiculous contests. Normally we go through and have a best players, or a top 100 topic or something, but I've decided to change it up. If someone else wants to start one of those up, that'd still be really cool. However I'm going to start this up, the most popular active players topic. I'm thinking I can do this as an X man single elimination tournament but I'll still accept any nominations even if we end up with a weird number because of it.

 

So here are the nomination rules:

1. You may nominate up to 50 active players. If they retired this offseason or end up retiring you can still include them. There is no limit to how many players on a single team you can nominate.

2. The number of nominations will help with seeding, so if you like a guy and see he's already been nominated, go ahead and nominate him again.

3. That should be pretty straightforward, we don't need more rules.

 

I'll let this go for a week or so, depending on when activity dies down. You can post reasoning for your nominations if you like, it's up to you.

 

Here are mine for the moment. I may have more later which I'll edit in.

 

1. Russell Wilson (Seahawks)

2. Von Miller (Broncos)

3. Eddie Lacy (Packers)

4. Aaron Rodgers (Packers)

1. Russell Wilson (#1 jersey seller, most role-model like person)

2. Odell Beckham Jr (NFL/Fantasy Football's hottest new toy)

3. Richard Sherman

4. JJ Watt

5. Aaron Rodgers

6. Rob Gronkowski

7. Tom Brady (greatest ever, late draft pick, disproved doubters, etc)

8. Marshawn Lynch

 

Disagree about the Mannings. There's so many negative opinions out there about the Mannings that it pretty much offsets the positive attention. Most people are on the Peyton needs to retire now train.

 

Popularity to me is jersey sales and how many people bow down to a certain player largely due to fantasy football. JJ Watt seems to embody what every man out there fantasizes in being. A pure master of brute strength and toughness, almost to the point of being another species.

 

Players who I was shocked to see nominated:

Josh Scobee

Jay Cutler

Marshal Yanda

Jerick Mckinnon

Alex Smith

Brandon Meriweather

Richie Incognito

=O Well if you don't like them, they aren't popular to you. I suppose TGP popular is different from Casual Popular.

One notable I would suggest is Andre Johnson - been around the league for years and does a TON of community work and is a well known philanthropist. Is arguably the most popular Texan of all.
