2. The Bennett brothers, Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots
Super Bowl champion tight end Martellus Bennett and Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett (also a champion) have been big personalities in the league for eight and nine years, respectively. Neither brother is ever shy to speak his mind.
Many fans enjoy engaging with them on social media because they typically respond without much of a filter.
But there are many out there who are not so amused.

When they are not harping on another NFL athlete, they have never been shy complaining about contract situations.
“It is never-ending,” Michael Bennett said last summer. “Especially when people are getting new contracts every day. You sit there and you’re like, ‘Damn, really?’ I’m just to the point where it’s kind of like, if you don’t think I’m valuable, then just get rid of me.”
More recently, Martellus just tweeted this little beef after he took a shot at a report suggesting he wants more than Rob Gronkowski (more on that here).

He does make a point. Nobody is going to accept making less money at their current job. But still, Martellus earns some pretty big bucks compared to the rest of us.
The Patriots tight end is slated to hit free agency.
Both brothers are likely to keep dishing it out on social media. While we are happy to say say there is plenty of positive material being shared, the fact is these guys just rub many people the wrong way.
