A team at OLBG surveyed 759 NFL fans and gathered Twitter sentiment data to figure out which NFL athletes receive the most love and hate on social media.
Findings include:
- 49.5% of the tweets Tua Tagovailoa receives are positive, making him the NFL’s 7th most beloved player on the platform overall, and the AFC East’s most popular player
- By positive tweets, he also ranks as the 4th most beloved QB in the NFL, ahead of Patrick Mahomes (11th), Josh Allen (12th), Tom Brady (14th), and Joe Burrow (19th)
- AFC East counterpart Cam Newton receives 21.3% negative tweets, making him the 8th most trolled player in the NFL
- A majority of fans surveyed thought Tom Brady is the NFL’s most hated player, however, Deshaun Watson is the NFL’s most trolled athlete (41.5% of his received tweets are negative)
When Tua gets some production under his belt this year, watch out. He will be the # 1 most liked player, period. Humble is good, Humble and Good is better. Refreshing for fans, refreshing vs other NFL divas.
