Ranking All 32 NFL Teams Based on How Arrogant They Are

Let’s be real—every NFL fan thinks their team is the best, even when they’re objectively not. But some teams and their fanbases take it further and ooze pure, unfiltered arrogance from Week 1 through Wild Card weekend (and beyond).

Whether it’s because of past success, current hype, or just blind confidence, certain franchises carry themselves as the world revolves around them. So here it is—every NFL team, ranked from the most humble to the most head-in-the-clouds arrogant.
