The NFL’s most hated player isn’t Tom Brady. It isn’t Richard Sherman, Greg Hardy, Jay Cutler, Ndamukong Suh, Ben Roethlisberger, Richie Incognito, Adrian Petersen, or Vontaze Burfict, either.
According to a Twitter poll conducted by SiriusXM NFL Radio (nearly 83,000 followers), the league’s most hated active NFL player is former Kentucky All-SEC tight end Jacob Tamme, who plays for the Atlanta Falcons.

Tamme, who finished the 2015 season with 59 receptions for 657 yards and a touchdown in what was his eighth year in the NFL, didn’t seem to mind that he was one of the polls’ main contenders. In fact, he might have been the reason why he was able to beat out the “opponents.”

If y'all show me a little more hate, there's a chance we can catch Brady! https://t.co/rKrAH8GBK0

It’s nice to see that he was able to have such a great sense of humor about it all.
