Who is the most disliked player in the NFL? Well, it’s not who you think it is.
Your first thought was probably either Patrick Mahomes or Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, since they have been the most dominant team in the NFL lately.

But surprisingly, it’s not them; it’s Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, according to Vegas Insider.
Vegas Insider based its research information on Reddit NFL discussion boards.
Jalen Hurts draws the most criticism league-wide, and he ranks No. 1 on the hate list (Hate Score: 10.0), reflecting the strongest negative fan reaction in the dataset.
It doesn’t explain why Hurts is so disliked. Part of it has to be the tush push, popularized by the Eagles over the past few years.
But other than that, Hurts has been a model citizen on and off the field. There hasn’t really been a single bad word said about the man from his teammates or his opponents.

He is also very charitable and well-liked among most NFL fans. So, maybe the hate has less to do with him and more to do with the tush push.
