Tom Brady is one of the most famous athletes in the world, and there was a recent study on the favorite athletes in every state in the United States. Wisconsin has had many great athletes throughout its history, whether they were from there or played professional sports there.
Some names that come to mind include Green Bay Packers legend Bart Starr, Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre. NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks is another name that comes to mind, while another name that comes to mind is Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers.
According to research. Tom Brady is America’s most popular NFL player and overall athlete. In this study, I led 45 of the 50 states, including Wisconsin. The only five states where he is not the most famous athlete are Wyoming, Ohio, California, Utah and Washington.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is Wyoming’s most popular athlete. This makes sense since he played quarterback in college at the University of Wyoming. After leaving college, Josh Allen donated heavily to the football program. He’s also one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
LeBron James is the most popular player in the NBA and the most famous athlete in California, Utah and Washington state. California makes sense because he lives there and also plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s funny how I landed. However, he is the most famous athlete in Utah and Washington state.
Surprisingly, LeBron James isn’t Ohio State’s most famous athlete. It belongs to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. He began his college career with the Ohio State Buckeyes before playing at Louisiana State University, where he won a national championship in 2019. Since then, he has revitalized the Cincinnati Bengals franchise and resides in Athens, Ohio.
Fascinatingly, Josh Allen and Joe Burrow appear to be more famous than Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II. He is the best quarterback in the NFL right now, and Tom Brady can be considered the greatest quarterback of all time as he won 7 championships, including one with Tampa Bay in 2020 Buccaneers vs. Kansas City Chiefs (Super Bowl LIV).
It’s a bit surprising that Tom Brady is Wisconsin’s most famous athlete, considering there have been some great Green Bay Packers players before him
Tom Brady dominated the NFL for years before retiring last season. This is the first year in quite some time without an NFL game. Part of this research is based on social media following. Tom Brady has the most social media followers in the NFL with 22.3 million, including Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Patrick Mahomes II has 9.4 million followers and Joe Burrow has 4.8 million followers. Current New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn’t even crack the top ten for social media following, but it’s still interesting. Here is its complete diagram:
The top three NBA social media followers are LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, who leads the list with 237.7 million views, and Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, who ranks second with 83.7 million views. The third-ranked player is Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant with 45.1 million views.
For the curious of the Wisconsin sports fan base, Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo rounds out the top 10 at No. 9 with 22.3 million followers.
The research was done by CasinoReviews.net, which used data from Google Trends, Ahrefs search volume, NFLPA, NBAStore and social media platforms to conduct the study. The lead researcher commented:
“Our study provides insight into Americans’ preferences for their favorite athletes. The dominance of the NFL and NBA in the country is clear, and it’s interesting to see how individual states have their own favorites.”
According to the conclusion of this study they provided, Tom Brady is very famous in Wisconsin as well as 44 other states. Brady is more famous than Aaron Rodgers. LeBron James is also the second most famous athlete in the study presented here.
