Listen to NFL stars read their own surprisingly accurate superlatives

Rob Gronkowski.

In celebration of the start of the NFL season, some of the league's biggest stars appeared on The Tonight Show Thursday to read superlatives bestowed upon them by Jimmy Fallon. Some came as no surprise (D'Brickashaw Ferguson of the New York Jets was named "Least Likely to Hear, 'Hey, My Name is D'Brickashaw, Too!'") while others were oddly specific (Joe Thomas of the Cleveland Browns was voted "Most Likely to Give You a Wedgie in 1948"). The most accurate superlative likely went to 39-year-old Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, who was declared "Most Likely to Have to Explain to a Rookie What a VCR Was."
