One of the best platforms for an NFL player to expand their personal brand happens to be at the postgame podium, where answering bland questions can also double as an opportunity to showcase their fashion sensibilities and personality to millions of fans and #brands across the globe.
Sometimes the ensemble works. Sometimes it does not. These are their stories.
Tom Brady
When it comes to Sir Thomas, it doesn’t matter if a podium is involved.
Ravens Camera Guy
Just superb cinematography.
Joe Flacco
Did You Know? The Ravens lost at home to the Bengals. Did You Also Know? Joe Flacco would like to know what it’s like to be a successful serial killer.
Andy Dalton
A safe, casual look. Not unlike the way Dandy Andy plays the game of football. Of possibly greater significance, Big Red’s devotion to the Dual People’s Eyebrow remains inspiring,
Derek Carr
Chin up, Derek Carr. Yes, winning ranks pretty much above anything, but damn — that shirt with the wide jacket has Tom Brady’s handler screaming when they’re not weeping.
Johnny Manziel Some Dude
Exceptional #branding victory for Nike, exceptionally atrocious moment for whoever played QB for the Browns. Yes, we all know this is Josh McCown. No, that snippet of knowledge is not something to be proud of.
Cam Newton
It wouldn’t be such a bad look if the shoes and jacket weren’t insistent on sexually assaulting one another.
Matt Ryan
Love the shirt choice, but the idea of a 30-year-old man doing the old “this isn’t a mustache it’s actually my index finger” prank is by no means amusing. And quite frankly — I, for one — find this act to be exceedingly immature.
Brandon Weeden
Not a bad suit. Apt expression. A+ for you, Brandon, you sweet beautiful creature.
Jameis Winston
This is by no means a podium, but this is by all means a losing season.
Andrew Luck
This is Andrew Luck pretty much every day. I see zero reason to provide an update with a more recent photo.
Teddy Bridgewater
Short Lesson: Buttoning the very top button is very stupid. Always and forever. Class dismissed.
Peyton Manning
Beautiful suit to match the Denver Broncos brand. Merciless migraine for not comprehending an outfit that doesn’t violently intersect with itself.
J.J. Watt
Let’s get straight to the point: The undershirt sucks. If your goal is to have panties to shower the field, ditch it, Officer.
Eli Manning
Is this an Eli Manning press conference or Eli Manning shortly after announcing his affinity for Bloody Marys? It barely matters, because he’s here and we love him. And while I’ve never been a fan of the “ooooooh, don’t be silly, you look fine” reassurance routine, wearing a polka-dotted tie is so very Eli.
