The Philadelphia Eagles enjoyed tremendous success over the past few seasons, highlighted by deep playoff runs and a Super Bowl title. Their signal-caller, Jalen Hurts, reshaped the franchise with elite athleticism and leadership. But that success has also brought intense scrutiny from NFL fans across the internet. According to an analysis from The Liberty Line and data scraped from Reddit via Vegas Insider, Hurts has been ranked as the most hated player in the entire NFL, a distinction no quarterback of his caliber has ever held before.
Despite accolades and wins, the 10.0 “Hate Score” Hurts received reflects the strongest negative sentiment among players league-wide. Analysts measured how often NFL players were mentioned in online discussions and whether those mentions skewed positive or negative, and Hurts sat atop that list.
