NFL Most Disliked Is Michael Vick: Forbes Poll Has Eagles QB Atop List As Manti Te'o, Ndamukong Suh, Ben Roethlisberger and Mark Sanchez Most Hated

The NFL doesn't always have the most likable players and that came out in a new poll by Forbes, as they asked around for the most disliked players in a public poll and Eagles quarterback Michael Vick came in on top, beating out Manti Te'o, Ndamukong Suh and Mark Sanchez.

According to ESPN.com, Vick was the top vote getter in the poll that was released on Forbes and the report says that over 50 percent of people, about 1,100, picked Vick number one and part of the reason is likely his conviction for dog fighting from a few years ago. Vick served over a year in jail and made a comeback to the league and while he has rehabilitated his image, many have not forgiven him.

Te'o was embroiled in a wired girlfriend hoax scandal while at Notre Dame and that may have been why he came in at second place with just under 50 percent of the vote at 48 percent. Te'o hasn't done anything negative since being in the NFL and while he may have been in on the hoax, many simply just saw him in the wrong light and voted him there. Ndamukong Suh gets plenty of pub as a dirty player and that made him come in at third place in the poll, as he hits hard and has been fined multiple times in his career.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is loved by his home town team, but after getting mixed up in a couple incidents as well as a motorcycle accident years ago, many have a bad public perception of him, which is why he came in fourth place. He previously has been suspended by the league. Mark Sanchez came in fifth in the poll and many fans have not liked how he has played over the past couple years and now he is nursing a shoulder injury and will be out for the year.
