    Never heard of Julio Jones? Devonte Freeman is pretty good too...you don’t go to the Super Bowl without stars.

    They're great players, but they aren't huge stars. Very few football players are.

    Tim Brady. Everybody knows who that is.

    The NFL is the most popular sport in this country. Julio Jones and Antonio Brown are the best WR in the NFL.

    They're both great players and huge stars.

    I'd say Jones is a star. This is a basketball forum, talking in a baseball subforum.

    If we are measuring star at the level of Brady or LeBron, there aren't many of those.

    Jones maybe, but if you ask the casual football fan, I doubt they could pick them out of a lineup.

    Aside from QBs there are very few actual stars in football. It's more about the nature of the sport than anything.

    You could say the same about baseball. They’ve been looking for a face of baseball since Jeter left. Plus the OP who named all the Houston stars counted Hopkins...
