Jalen Hurts Tops Reddit-Based Study as NFL’s Most Disliked Player
The label stems from a Vegas Insider read of Reddit discussions that measures negative engagement, not a representative poll.
Overview
- Vegas Insider assigned Hurts a Hate Score of 10.0 after analyzing NFL subreddit discussions.
- The latest ranking places him ahead of names such as Jake Moody, Luther Burden, Daniel Jones, and Deshaun Watson in the top 10.
- Coverage contrasts the finding with Hurts’ recent success, including a Super Bowl MVP last season, as critics still tag him overrated.
- Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson attribute the negativity to his reserved demeanor and a perceived loner image rather than on-field play.
- Analysts also point to the Eagles’ polarizing short-yardage “tush push” as a likely driver of online backlash.
