Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. came in third in a fan survey of the most annoying players in the NFL, behind only Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Action Network commissioned Research Without Barriers (RWB) to conduct an online survey of 3,000 football fans to determine the Most Annoying Player in the National Football League. The survey was conducted between July 31, 2024, and August 5, 2024, and the sample comprised 3,013 NFL fans around the United States.

Out of the 3,000 people surveyed, 10 percent selected Beckham as the most annoying. Kelce garnered 17 percent, while Rodgers topped the list with 27 percent of those surveyed.

For some reason, folks describing themselves as Arizona Cardinals fans had Beckham on their list the most, at 19 percent. The Cardinals were followed by the Atlanta Falcons and the Baltimore Ravens, who both came in at 18 percent. Washington fans were at the bottom, registering at only 3 percent.

Dolphins fans ranked Rodgers and Kelce as their two most annoying players, but not surprisingly, Beckham wasn't third on their list. Instead, it was Baltimore Ravens quarterback and 2023 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson.

BECKHAM'S DOLPHINS DEBUT STILL ON HOLD

The Dolphins signed Beckham to a one-year contract in the offseason. He did not participate in minicamp or training camp due to an undisclosed injury and was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list when the team moved to get down to the 53-player roster limit on August 27th.

He is eligible to return to practice after Week 4, but it's uncertain whether he'll be ready by then.

According to those surveyed, Beckham made the list because of his alleged off-field behavior.

Teams in the Packers division found Rodgers, who formerly played for the Green Bay Packers, to be the most annoying. Of the Chicago Bears fans surveyed, 43 percent found Rodgers the most annoying. They were followed by the Minnesota Vikings, who rang up 40 percent of those surveyed.
