About This Quiz

They're some of the strongest, fastest, and most athletic people in the world. But throughout the NFL's history, many players have been known just as much for their colorful personalities as their physical prowess on the turf. There was "Broadway" Joe Namath, who boldly guaranteed a win for his Jets squad before Super Bowl III - and ended up right. Other players are known for their antics after sundown. Guys like Rob Gronkowski, Odell Beckham, Jr. and Reggie Bush are as likely to show up on TMZ as ESPN. Wide receiver Plaxico Burress once brought a loaded gun into a nightclub - he had a blast that night, but not the way he was expecting.

Of course, football players do much more than just party and play sports. Many have a charitable side and use their stature for good. Houston Texans' defensive end JJ Watt raised over $40 million through his foundation in 2017, to help aid the city's recovery from the devastating Hurricane Harvey. Quarterbacks Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Eli Manning are three more on the list of the game's most generous. But the real question is, which NFL player's collection of personality traits matches up best with yours? Time to find out!
