20 Exciting NFL Players on Instagram
Are you Ready for some Football? What a difference a couple of years makes. I first wrote this article in the summer of 2012 and have now updated it for the 2015 2016 season. When I first wrote the article, you could find very few of the top NFL players on Instagram and there were 7 8 teams that did NOT even have IG accounts yet. Few of the teams were sharing many pictures many had shared less than 20 photos.
Now, the world is completely different. You can find many of the top NFL stars using Instagram, especially the young ones that started in college. All of the NFL teams have gotten on board and many have share hundreds of photos understanding that the medium is perfectly suited to enhance the NFL fan experience. I have highlighted 20 of the more interesting players to follow in IG and all of the team handles.
Of course you cannot find all of the NFL players on Instagram. I have split up the list between NFC Players and AFC Players. I am also trying to highlight some of the interesting off field passions of these NFL players from philanthropy to business.

What you might not know about Brandon is that he was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder in 2010 and it explained much of his volatile off field issues up until that time. Now he is helping others who are also suffering from mental health issues. On Instagram,Cam Newton Jerseys, Brandon has shared over 800 photos and has 145,Clay Matthews Jerseys,000 followers.
