Top 10 most hated NFL players in 2023: Russell Wilson tops the list
No. 6: Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs
Chiefs. player. 124. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Travis Kelce. 6.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is among the most hated players in the NFL, but why?
Well, aside from his Catching Kelce dating show, Kelce is simply one of the most dominant players in the NFL at his position — ever. And he’s going to let you know about it. Kelce is a big trash talker. He’s one of the NFL’s biggest personalities. He was once labeled by Von Miller as “Fake Gronk” and although that statement was hilarious at the time, Kelce has proven he might challenge Gronk’s legacy as the best tight end over the last 20 years in the NFL — maybe ever.
With that being said, Kelce is a bit over the top for some, and way over the top for others.
No. 5: Lamar Jackson, QB, Baltimore Ravens
26. player. . Ravens. Lamar Jackson. 5. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
For reasons I’ll never fully understand, Lamar Jackson is absolutely one of the most hated players in the NFL in 2023. People have hated Lamar Jackson since he came into the league, although I would say the “hatred” doesn’t come from the sect of NFL fans you really want to be associated with.
People have hated Lamar Jackson for his style of play. They have hated him for the fact that he represents himself without an agent. They have hated him for missing games the last couple of years. They have hated him for taking so long in his contract negotiations.
None of these reasons are justified, but they are all reasons why a lot of NFL fans seem to hate Lamar Jackson.
