Dirtiest players in the NFL

[HarleyDog]

Richard Sherman
 The self-proclaimed best corner in the game, Richard Sherman’s play on the field isn’t dirty so much as his attitude is. Sherman is one of the most hated players in the NFL and is never afraid to talk trash and get into his opponents’ heads.



Steve Smith Sr.
 Skill position players usually aren’t considered dirty, but Steve Smith Sr. is an exception. No one denies the Ravens wide receiver has had an amazing career, but it also can’t be denied that Smith Sr. loves talking trash and has been flagged many a time for taunting and unnecessary roughness. Smith Sr. is currently on the mend from an Achilles injury that prematurely ended his 2015 campaign.



Ndamukong Suh
 Ndamukong Suh is one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL but also its most hated. Suh has garnered a reputation over the past few seasons as a dirty player, as he has been suspended twice and fined over $420,000 for repeated player safety violations. Now with the Miami Dolphins, Suh is constantly one of the most vilified players in the NFL.



Aqib Talib
 Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib was suspended one game earlier this season for poking an opposing player in eye. Hardly a classy move from one of the better cornerbacks in the NFL.



Cody Wallace
 Steelers guard Cody Wallace has become one of the most disliked offensive lineman in the NFL, and for good reason. Along with committing 12 penalties over the course of the season, Wallace went head hunting against the Broncos in Week 15. He recklessly launched himself at Broncos defender David Bruton after a play was over, injuring Bruton.



T.J. Ward
 A hard-hitting safety, T.J. Ward of the Broncos sometimes gets a little too carried away on the field. He was called for seven penalties in 2014, including two unnecessary roughness calls. Ward was also ejected from a game and fined $10,000 earlier in the season for throwing a punch at an opponent.
