MORE: Top 32 NFL players on Twitter | On Twitter: Follow our list
- Ben Tate, RB - Houston Texans (@BenTateRB)
Who beat him out: J.J. Watt
The Skinny: Up until 2013, Arian Foster was the most vocal tweeter on the Texan’s roster, but since his retirement from social media in March, Tate has stepped up and is carring the load for the offensive players. He’s not nearly as polarizing as Foster, but that’s actually a good thing.
- Aaron Rodgers, QB - Green Bay Packers (@AaronRodgers12)
Who beat him out: T.J. Lang
The Skinny: Rodgers has the capabillity to be one of the best tweeters in the game, but his numbers have declined in recent months. Regardless, when he tweets, you best be following him. Who knows, he might even make a wager with you.
- Chris Harris Jr., CB - Denver Broncos (@ChrisHarrisJr)
Who beat him out: Shaun Phillips
The Skinny: Like any good cornerback, Harris is good at running his mouth. But on Twitter, it’s mostly entertaining thoughts on humorus situations. He’s a funny guy. Follow him. Trust us.
- Nick Barnett, LB - Washington Redskins (@NickBarnett)
Who beat him out: Robert Griffin III
The Skinny: Barnett, who was signed by the Redskins in August, is a more prolific tweeter than RGIII, and arguably more entertaining. Not having to deal with the same bright spotlight RGIII works under means Barnett is more free to speak his mind, something he is very good at doing.
- Russell Wilson, QB - Seattle Seahawks (@DangeRussWilson)
Who beat him out: Richard Sherman
The Skinny: Just like his pocket pressence, WIlson is calm, cool and collected on Twitter. He’s does a bit of everything on Twitter, just like on the field. In short, he’s the next big thing.
- Larry Fitzgerald, WR - Arizona Cardinals (@LarryFitzgerald)
Who beat him out: Jay Feely
The Skinny: Fitzgerald is as talented as they come, but unfortunately, is on a team crammed with excellent tweeters. Jay Feely is an evil genius and Darnell Dockett may be the the most polarizing NFL payer on Twitter. But Fitzgerald uses Twitter to promote, enlighten and reflect better than most. He’s a must-follow.
- Ray Rice, RB - Baltimore Ravens (@RayRice27)
Who beat him out: Torrey Smith
The Skinny: The diminuitive running back has a strong Twitter game. He’s active, and entertaining, and most importanly, doesn’t waste his 140 characters. Plus, he posts pictures of his cane corso puppies. Who doesn’t love puppy pictures?
- Tom Crabtree, TE - Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@ItsCrab)
Who beat him out: Gerald McCoy
The Skinny: The gap between McCoy and Crabtree was razor thin. McCoy’s Twitter feed is more dynamic, but not many players are more funny than Crabtree. If you like your NFL players to make jokes, you need to follow Tom Crabtree.
- Darnell Dockett, DE - Arizona Cardinals (@DDockett)
Who beat him out: Jay Feely
The Skinny: Darnell Dockett’s Twitter feed is not for everyone. He speaks his mind and does not care what you think. He owns a pet alligator and a pet tiger. He will hit on your girlfriend.
- DeSean Jackson, WR - Philadelphia Eagles (@DeSeanJackson10)
Who beat him out: Jon Dorenbos
The Skinny: DeSean Jackson keeps it real. Really real. Don’t ask for a RT because you’re not going to get one. You don’t have to like the Eagles to like Jackson’s feed. Each tweet is 140 characters of pure entertainment.
