Most loved NFL players ranked by fans
The study identified the 10 most loved NFL players using positive fan sentiment data collected by Vegas Insider. Quarterbacks dominate the rankings, reflecting their prominence and influence in today’s game.
Here is the full top 10:

- Bo Nix – Denver Broncos
- Ty Robinson – Philadelphia Eagles
- Jayden Daniels – Washington Commanders
- Daniel Jones – Indianapolis Colts
- Russell Wilson – New York Giants

Aaron Rodgers’ inclusion highlights contrast
Although Josh Allen claimed the top spot, Aaron Rodgers’ presence at number 10 also stood out. The veteran quarterback continues to attract strong support despite years of polarizing storylines.
The same study also placed Rodgers 12th on the list of most hated NFL players. That contrast shows how high-profile figures can rank prominently in both positive and negative sentiment categories.
Allen’s first-place finish reflects his steady production, leadership, and connection with Buffalo supporters. Rodgers’ appearance on both lists underscores the complex nature of fan perception.
The results demonstrate how popularity in the modern NFL often aligns with visibility and narrative as much as performance. For now, Allen sits at the top of the league in fan approval.
