The NFL's Most (And Least) Liked Players
Nielsen recently collaborated on a survey with E-Poll Market Research aimed at finding out which NFL players resonated with fans as appealing, and which didn’t. Players’ appeal numbers were scored based on the percentage of those whose response was to “like” the player or “like him a lot.”
.....
Finally, there’s the team factor. Three Green Bay Packers - Rodgers, Driver and defensive back Charles Woodson - are among the ten most liked players in the league. The most blatant contrast: not one but two Dallas Cowboys’ quarterbacks, Tony Romo and Kyle Orton, are among the least-liked.
