Top 15 Ugliest NFL Players of All Time

Have you ever wondered who the ugliest NFL players are?

We all know that the NFL has some of the most talented and good-looking athletes.

But there have also been some players who haven’t been blessed with the same looks.

After surveying NFL fans and experts alike, a few players have been consistently named as some of the least attractive NFL players.

From wide receivers to quarterbacks and running backs, here’s a look at some of the ugliest NFL players of all time.

Ugliest NFL Players of All Time

Pat McQuistan is a hulking guy, no doubt about it. But if you look closely, his face is, well, it’s an acquired taste.

As one of the ugliest NFL players of all time, he’s been through the league playing for the Cowboys and the Cardinals.

His head is a bit funny-looking, and it almost seems like teams have used him as a “scare tactic” in the trenches to unnerve the guy across from him.

He may not be the most handsome NFL player, but his size and skill make up for it.

Hey, if you’re a Cardinals fan, you can still appreciate Pat McQuistan’s contributions to the team, even if he’s not exactly a looker.

Paul McQuistan is among the ugliest NFL players of all time, yet he still manages to play a starring role on the Seattle Seahawks.

He tried a lot but couldn’t escape the shadow of his twin brother Pat, who has also managed to make the list of the Top 15 Ugliest NFL players.

Though he isn’t the best football player, Paul was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2006 NFL draft by the Oakland Raiders and has since bounced around the league.

The only good thing about Paul is that we now have the technology to take photos of him since he’s probably too scary to have his picture taken in the 1800s.

Both brothers may not be the best players, but they are certainly unique because they both play in the NFL.

3. Tony Siragusa

Tony Siragusa is one of the top 15 ugliest NFL players of all time!

Not only is he not very easy on the eyes, but his sideline ‘reporting’ is pretty useless. With the current state of high-definition televisions, it’s almost too much to bear.

To make matters worse, he’s not aging very gracefully, either. In fact, Fox should show him eating a plate of spaghetti.

At least that would involve some level of athleticism.

All jokes aside, the man has had a long career in the NFL and deserves some respect for that.

Sebastian Janikowski is an Ugly NFL Player, but he’s also a real character.

He’s got a reputation for partying like a rockstar and not letting that impact his performance on the field.

He’s been able to keep his job as one of the league’s strongest kickers despite his wild and unpredictable lifestyle.

He’s like a modern-day Doc Ellis, as he’s able to perform on the field despite not really being aware that it’s game day.

His ability to be successful despite his habits is a testament to the power of lard, showing that you never know what someone is capable of!

5. Jared Lorenzen

Jared Lorenzen was an absolute beast during his time with the Giants.

Not only could he chuck the ball down the field, but he also dared to fight against his metabolism while dealing with many media clowns.

His size was definitely a factor in why he was so beloved by fans, but his determination made him so special.

After leaving the Giants, Lorenzen had a successful career in both the Arena Football League and the Continental Indoor Football League, where he was the starting QB for the Northern Kentucky River Monsters.

He was an incredible player and an even better person, and I’m sure he will be remembered for a long time.

Curtis Painter will forever go down in history as one of the ugliest NFL players of all time.

His long, Cobain-esque locks and zombie-like expression make him look more like a 90’s rock star than a professional football player. And his on-field performance was just as ugly as his off-field look.

His career numbers are nothing to write home about – 148 for 287 for six TDS and 13 INT is really not what you want to see from an NFL QB.

However, his bad luck turned into good luck when he got to fill in for an injured Manning, and the Colts were able to tank their way into the Andrew Luck sweepstakes.

So while Curtis Painter may not have been the greatest QB of all time, he did play an instrumental role in securing one of the NFL’s best.

Robert Griffin III has had a rough go since his rookie season.

His career struggles have taken a toll on his looks, making him one of the ugliest NFL players of all time.

He’s desperately trying to reinvent his game to fit into the NFL, but let’s be honest, with a face like his, it will be a tough row to hoe.

Many guys have been able to succeed in the NFL and still look good, like Brady Quinn, but for RG3, it’s an uphill battle.

Here’s hoping he can prove everyone wrong and turn it all around!

Richie Incognito is a real-life nightmare. He’s an absolute bully known to get violent and out of control on the football field.

His size and creepy child-like looks make him look like a giant elementary school bully who’s come to life.

He’s so ugly that if it wasn’t for his looks, he might have been somewhat attractive.

His size, features, and persona make him one of the ugliest NFL players of all time.

Jimmy Clausen is an NFL player who is best known for his unique looks.

It’s almost like he’s trying to give people nightmares with his face and with some success.

Life is funny like that, and it’s even funnier when you realize that even though he’s not the best NFL player, he’s still got more money than anyone I know!

Knowing that someone like Clausen, who looks like he’d be more suited to lurking in a dark alley, can still have a successful career in the NFL.

Nick Foles may not be one of the most attractive NFL players, but he sure has the heart of a champion!

Even though his face looks like it’s been through the wringer, Foles is a true warrior on the field.

He’s been on many teams’ draft boards, but his dopey face doesn’t take away from his incredible ability to lead and play the game.

He may not have the best symmetry, but he’s got the heart of a champion, and that’s what really matters.

Plus, if you’re a fan of Scooby Doo, you can’t help but love Foles’ Shaggy-like face!

Kyle Orton may go down as one of the Top 15 ugliest NFL players of all time – and it had nothing to do with his playing ability.

We all remember the infamous neckbeard that Orton donned during his playing days.

In fact, teams were actually fighting to get their hands on this “handsome devil” despite his questionable look.

His facial hair was more memorable than any of his on-field accomplishments, which is saying something.

When you think of Kyle Orton, you think of a bewildered expression and a gas canister he’s probably about to huff.

12. Brian Hartline

Brian Hartline is the classic example of an ugly NFL player of all time.

Not only does he look like a chipmunk, but he was able to convince former Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland to pay him like a no. 1 receiver while putting up no. 4 receiver numbers!

Even worse, he has a habit of falling as soon as he catches the ball, which wasn’t helping the Dolphins win.

The Dolphins finally got wise and let him go, but poor Cleveland has acquired him, giving him a chance to do who knows what.

13. Jeff Hostetler

Jeff Hostetler was certainly one of the ugliest NFL players of all time. It was like someone had taken a 70s adult film star and given him a really bad makeover – he had the mustache but none of the smolder.

The rest of his face was weird. For example, he always wanted to figure out what to do with his mouth.

It was almost like he was most of the time in the middle of a bowel movement.

But regardless of his looks, Hostetler was a great QB and led the Giants to a Super Bowl win.

The sight of LaVar Arrington’s imposing figure and piercing gaze would be enough to make anyone flee in terror.

But it’s not just his face that makes him so intimidating – it’s his bizarre hairstyles that really give him a Sideshow Bob vibe.

He’s the kind of player you want to avoid if you ever see him walking down a dark alley.

But overall, LaVar Arrington deserves respect for various reasons.

Marshawn Lynch is on the list of ugly players, but that doesn’t stop him from being one of the toughest.

He’s famously difficult to interview and rarely seen without his hoodie, but that’s just part of his game.

He doesn’t care what he looks like and plays with a ruthless style that screams, “get out of my way!”

Even Pete Carroll, who may not think he’s the most attractive player, still gave him the ball to score the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl.

That’s just how good Marshawn Lynch is. Ugly or not, he still gets the job done.

Conclusion

Well, that’s it, folks! We’ve reached the end of our list of the top 15 ugliest NFL players of all time.

While it’s certainly a subjective list, it is safe to say that these players were not blessed with good looks.

But, as they say, beauty is only skin deep, and these players were able to make up for their lack of physical attractiveness with their formidable playing skills.
