At long last, that dark time known as the NFL offseason has nearly passed, and kickoff is two days away. Quick offseason recap: just about every NFL player got himself a Twitter account. So we’ve gone through the depth charts and compiled a roster of the NFL tweeters worth following throughout the season. If only Namath had this in his day.
Tweeter: Chad Ochocino, WR,
Cincinnati Bengals
Why Follow: Real-time updates about Ocho’s future TD celebrations. Up next: taking the
Patriots’ musket and firing into the crowd. Seriously.
Sample Tweet: “Dear NFL I apologize for tweeting during the game but that was 2 monthsof
my Bugatti payments you just took from me,I won't do it again”
Tweeter: Reggie Bush, RB, New
Orleans Saints
Why Follow: Read all about the ex-Mr. Kardashian’s feelings on NFL workout routines,
losing your Heisman Trophy and the cutting edge of NYC nightlife.
Sample Tweet: “I don't believe my eyes right now! All I have to say is if your ever in
New York go to a club called The Box! You will be scarred for life!”
Tweeter: Aaron Rodgers, QB,
Green Bay Packers
Why Follow: A fresh perspective on facial hair that will keep you coming back for
more.
Sample Tweet: “Mustache + fanny pack= super creepy. Unless it's a sam elliot
mustache”
Tweeter: Drew Brees, QB, New
Orleans Saints
Why Follow: A lurid peek inside the edgy world of a Super Bowl MVP. Actually, scratch
that—we wouldn’t be surprised if his next tweet is about rescuing a kitten.
Sample Tweet: “Had a great time w/ my grandparents yesterday in New Baden, TX. Helped
raise money for the community center that will be named after my Gma”
Tweeter: Darnell Dockett, DL,
Arizona Cardinals
Why Follow: Riveting tales of police encounters, lactose-related stomach issues and the
occasional video of himself showering.
Sample Tweet: “Police pull me over for making a illegal u turn! he asked me why I did it
I said "the red light was on a krispy kreme" s#@t I was honest!!”
Tweeter: Stewart Bradley, LB,
Philadelphia Eagles
Why Follow: A priceless look inside the introspective, innocent and curious mind of a
254-pound human missile.
Sample Tweet: “How come discombobulate is a word but combobulate isn't? Im gonna boycott
the dictionary and start saying 'combobulate' or 'combobulated'”
Tweeter: Michael Huff, DB,
Oakland Raiders
Why Follow: You have the morbid curiosity to see what another five-win season in Oakland
can do to the human psyche.
Sample Tweet: “Is it possible to be a thug and have bieber fever?”
Tweeter: Jeremy Shockey, TE,
New Orleans Saints
Why Follow: Sadly, his days of questioning Bill Parcells’s sexuality, attacking GMs
and passing out poolside at Vegas hotels seem to be over. Still, you wouldn’t want to carpool with him to
practice.
Sample Tweet: “I want to be the first person to drive across a state in
reverse!!!!!!!!!”
