It's that time of year again. If you’re a regular Complex Sports reader, you’re well aware of our annual tradition of ranking the NFL teams’ Twitter accounts from best to worst.
Social media has become a significant part of a franchise's identity whether you believe it or not. While it's used as a marketing tool and another avenue for monetization for some, it's a way for fans to connect with the teams they love. For our yearly list, we only focus on Twitter as that has been the main avenue for fans to connect with their teams in real time.
We are well aware that many teams have different approaches and goals to Twitter. Some franchises demand a buttoned-up tone while others are free to create how they please. Our judgement of accounts is based off fun, creativity, engagement, and ability to stay in the conversation. It's not based off how good the team is but we'll acknowledge that winning teams may have an advantage for the engagement aspect. We counted tweets from the beginning of the 2022 season, excluding training camp, up until today.
The Los Angeles Chargers are looking to become three-time champs of our Twitter rankings. They've taken home the No. 1 spot in 2019 and 2022 while finishing second in 2020.
Our list was curated off feedback from experts in the industry. With all that being said, here are our all 32 NFL Twitter accounts ranked.

The Chiefs have consistently been among the top 10 when it comes to Twitter. It helps when they make deep playoff runs consistently and have one of the greatest talents the game has ever seen but regardless of that, the Chiefs keep their fun tone consistent.
