About This Quiz

There are 32 teams in the NFL right now and that means 32 places where you could potentially fit. Thirty-two teams that are crying out for a superstar with your name. For the kind of player who can take them all the way to the Super Bowl and bring it all home. But which one could be "the" one? Which team were you born to play for? It's a loaded question and harder to answer than you might think.  

In order to figure out what team is your team, we need to look at this whole thing scientifically. Have you ever had experience getting work done in the snow? If you have, then maybe you can play up north somewhere, like for the Bears or the Green Bay Packers. If not, then the team you're meant to be on could be the Miami Dolphins or the Dallas Cowboys. Are you meant to turn around an entire team's fortunes single-handedly? Maybe the Cleveland Browns need you, then, or the Detroit Lions. But then again, maybe you're just here to be part of a legacy of awesome. In that case, maybe you're a Patriot, or a 49er. Lots to consider, right? We've got your back, though! Take the quiz and see for yourself!
