The NFL is the most popular professional sport in the United States and for good reason. The athletes playing today are too much fun to watch. The question becomes who is the most fun to watch?
The way this list will work is by choosing which 10 players I feel are the most fun to watch this season. Prior seasons performances do come slightly into play, but past success does not guarantee you a spot on this list. Sorry Peyton Manning and Dez Bryant. Also, team success does certainly help your chances of moving up in this list. Finally, this is my own opinion, so your own top 10 very well could be different than mine.
10. Julio Jones
This guy is a physical freak of nature, extremely fast and incredibly big. It is absolutely amazing to watch him torch secondaries game after game. That is why he leads the NFL in receiving yards.
9. Adrian Peterson
AP is a man. It seems like every time he runs the ball, it takes the entire defense to take him down. There really is no true way to slow him down and that is why if you watch a game in which he is playing, it is a good one.
8. Tom Brady
Brady is like a machine—it truly is remarkable to watch. He regularly picks apart defenses, while making it look easy. A lot of people may hate him, but if you watch him, it is hard to deny his talent.
7. Darrelle Revis
This one may be difficult for some people to understand, since cornerbacks do not have the ball in their hands often. Revis is brilliant to watch, because when he is on a defense, a half of the field is literally shut down.
6. J.J. Watt
Another defensive player is pretty surprising. However, just like Revis, Watt instantly makes a defense a whole lot better. What makes him so much fun, though, is that he also has a good chance of catching a red zone touchdown.
5. Rob Gronkowski
This dude not only is the best tight end in the game, but he looks like he has the most fun out of anyone. He is like a little kid in massive form, and it is really fun to watch.
4. Odell Beckham Jr.
He is quickly moving up the list of best receivers in the NFL. It is not just the numbers he puts up, he also routinely has highlight reel catches. I think everyone remembers his catch on Sunday Night Football.
3. Aaron Rodgers
As some people say, Rodgers is a baaaaad man. He has a cannon for an arm and puts up crazy fun numbers. Watching him play, you should know to buckle up, because it is going to be a wild ride.
2. Antonio Brown
Brown is like when you play a video game and decide you want to throw to only one receiver to see how many yards you can get. Every week his numbers speak for themselves.
1. Cam Newton
Right now in the NFL, no one is as fun to watch as Cam Newton. His Panthers are a remarkable 14-0 and the biggest reason has to be Superman himself. It is so much fun to watch a guy dominate with a smile on his face.
That concludes the list—some people may like what I put together, while others may disagree. That is the beauty of the NFL—there are so many fun players to watch, it is hard to just pick 10.
