Patrick Mahomes is the most-liked skill position player in the NFL, per Morning Consult's annual survey of U.S. adults.
By the numbers: Mahomes scored a net favorability rating of 34, which was calculated by taking the 41% of respondents with a favorable opinion of him and subtracting the 7% with an unfavorable opinion.
- Mahomes (34)
- Russell Wilson (28)
- Rob Gronkowski (27)
- Josh Allen (25)
- Tom Brady (25)
Notes:
- Aaron Rodgers, who trailed only Drew Brees and Mahomes last season, saw his net favorability plummet from 32 to 15 this year.
- Brady remains polarizing. 47% of respondents had a favorable opinion of him (highest of any player), while 22% had an unfavorable opinion (second-highest behind former teammate Antonio Brown).
