A Definitive Ranking Of NFL Mascots Enjoy the most important football list all year.
31. Chief Zee: Washington Redskins
View this image › haruth.com / Via wikipedia Chief Zee first appeared on September 5, 1978. In 1983, Chief Zee attended a game against the Eagles and was attacked by Eagles fans who broke his leg, tore off his original costume, and left him hospitalized. This occurrence didn’t stop him and he is still attending games. While he is an unofficial mascot to the Redskins, it’s just not a good time to be a fan. This name controversy will not be going away any time soon and there will probably be a new mascot in the near future.
30. Fireman Ed: New York Jets
1 / 30
View this image › Via wikipedia Again an unofficial mascot, who quit in 2012 after being harassed for wearing a Mark Sanchez jersey. He did not create the chant, “J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets Jets!” but he has lead it since appearing at games in 1986.

2 / 30

27. Raider Rusher: Oakland Raiders

26. Poe: Baltimore Ravens
4 / 30
View this image › popwarnersb.com / Via en.wikipedia.org “When originally unveiled, Poe was one of three costumed mascots, all raven brothers named “Edgar”, “Allan”, and “Poe”. Because the Baltimore Ravens were named after the poem “The Raven” by Baltimore resident Edgar Allan Poe, it was natural to name their mascots after Poe.” Not sure if poetry and football mix…
25. Billy Buffalo: Buffalo Bills
5 / 30

20. Big Red: Arizona Cardinals
10 / 30
View this image › Via azcardinals.com “Hatching” in 1998, this bird is exhausted and might need some help, just read his memoir, “I’ve spent many postgame hours prone whilst those who assist me try to nurse me back to health by turning me into the dasani water dispenser, tipping that five gallon jug right in to my mouth after tossing in a couple Tylenol.”
19. Rampage: St Louis Rams

14. Sourdough Sam: San Francisco 49ers
15 / 30
View this image › Via en.wikipedia.org Throughout the years, Sam’s appearance has been changed. “He used to appear as a character with a scruffy brown beard, brown eyes, and a wide-brimmed ten-gallon hat with a chunk taken out of its brim. He then appeared as a clean-shaven gold panner with blue eyes and a hat without any imperfections. A bearded Sourdough Sam returned for the 2011 season.” Just reminding me of sourdough bread gives him instant cred.

8. Sleely McBeam: Pittsburgh Steelers
21 / 30
View this image › Via realclearsports.com Steely doesn’t care about football, or mascots, or fun, he just wants to get home from the construction site and have a drink until he passes out. Definitely an odd one, the woman who created “the everyman” for a contest, said it was “meant to represent Steel for Pittsburgh’s industrial heritage, ‘Mc’ for the Rooney family’s Irish roots, and Beam for the steel beams produced in Pittsburgh.”
7. Rowdy: Dallas Cowboys
22 / 30

6. Roary: Detroit Lions
23 / 30
View this image › Via detroitlions.com Roary sounds like a great catch, “Roary likes to live on the edge and is quite the adventurist! He has been known to ride mechanical bulls, tube down a ski hill, and water ski. There isn’t anything Roary won’t do.” I’m so swiping right!
5. Jaxson de Ville: Jacksonville Jaguars
24 / 30
View this image › Via en.wikipedia.org Scoring mayor points with the most clever name (well done Jacksonville), this guy’s a bad ass! He eats pizza and bungee jumps off the scoreboard, who knew someone from Florida could be so cool?

26 / 30
View this image › Via en.wikipedia.org The only human official mascot in the NFL, Ragnar enters the stadium on a motorcycle in full Viking garb. Joseph Juranitch who plays Ragnar holds the current world record for fastest time shaving a beard with an axe. So basically he’s not one to mess with…
2. Captain Fear: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
27 / 30
View this image › Via buccaneers.com His survival story is quite captivating, “On Friday, June 2, 2000, the Clearwater Coast Guard rescued Captain Fear from the choppy water of Tampa Bay. One night while guiding his ship through an intense Caribbean storm, the famous captian was thrown overboard when the vessel was struck by lightning”. Plus he’s a FREAKING PIRATE! How sick is that!?
1. Pat Patriot: New England Patriots
28 / 30
View this image › Via en.wikipedia.org How can this not be the best mascot in football?! It’s a soldier in the AMERICAN Revolution! Though there is controversy over the “new” helmet logo dubbed “Flying Elvis”, Pat will always belong on the field.
