* ShakingTheRump: In the Season 1 Christmas special, Santa Claus uses his magic to make an angry Roger Goodell twerk, to Antonio Brown's delight. Goodell later does it again at the end. (Also ends up being a bit of Fridge Humor, as this scene combined with the change in the character in Season 2 and beyond essentially suggests that Santa "fixed" Goodell by showing him how much fun dancing is.)

[[folder:Current Players]]
!!BakerMayfield
* GroundhogDayLoop: Gets stuck in one after leading the Browns to the playoffs in 2020.
* SirSwearsALot: He's seemingly unable to get through more than a sentence or two without dropping an f-bomb. Played for extra laughs in his rookie season due to the contrast with his rookie baby voice.

!!Lamar Jackson
* AxCrazy: In all his appearances after his 2018 rookie year, he is depicted with a deep, maniacal voice and an overly-aggressive personality, unable to even order at a restaurant without this leaking through.
-->'''Lamar Jackson:''' ''(Looking at menu)'' I want... IT ALL!
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: One episode has him babysitting the 2020 rookies, who quickly prove to be more of a handful than he anticipated. However, he eventually gets the upper hand.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: He's extremely annoyed that he can't win a prize at the quarter-season carnival when players who've done less are able to win prizes.

!!Patrick Mahomes
* TheAce: Routinely seen doing things with ease that other players struggle with.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Mahomes has an exaggerated version of his “Kermit the Frog” voice, acts like a kid at a candy store, only worries about throwing his friend the football too hard... and is constantly dropping casual and coincidental {{Badass Boast}}s along the lines of how easy he finds everything right after someone else has expressed terror or nervousness. He is one of the few quarterbacks to avoid getting victimized in “The Purge”, and manages to unwittingly [[BigDamnHeroes save Kirk Cousins and Cam Newton from Goodell’s ritual]]. Also, he nearly defeats both Lamar Jackson and Russell Wilson in the 2019 “MVP Race”, despite a delayed start, and only stopped because he already won one.
* MadLibsCatchphrase: "Wow! What a fun, easy [whatever he just did]!"

!!Andrew Luck
* ApologeticAttacker: In the ''Film/{{Taken}}'' episode, he destroys the Texans, down to torturing one with a blowtorch, but he never stops apologizing and complementing them.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: After spending most of the first two seasons as a nice guy plagued with injuries, Andrew Luck "goes full Liam Neeson" on the Texans, complete with a robot arm. [[note]]And Quenton Nelson[[/note]]
-->'''Andrew''': Oh golly! I don't know who you are or what you want, but I'm Andrew- Hello! I have a very particular set of skills, skills I've required over almost half a career. Skills like accuracy, good decision making, and recommending the perfect book. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you, [[ApologeticAttacker and I'm sorry about that]]. If you let the AFC South go now, that will be the end of it. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you- you silly goose- and I will absolutely destroy you.
* ButNowIMustGo: In the Season 4 premiere, Luck announces his retirement before literally disappearing into thin air. He does return for the season finale.
* NiceGuy: Luck is seemingly the friendliest and most cheerful guy in the universe.

!!Eli Manning
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Gets stuck babysitting the rookies in Season 3, much to his frustration.
-->'''Eli:''' Oh, why are these kids so ''mobile''?
* ButtMonkey: One of Gridiron Heights’ biggest punching bags, especially after Luck’s retirement. His younger self (albeit an apparition given by “Franchise the Clown”) even falls victim to a bitter Philip Rivers.

!!Peyton Manning
* SiblingRivalry: He's frequently seen scrapping verbally, and in one case physically, with Eli.
* VerbalTic: Occasionally speaks his lines to the tune of the "Nationwide" commercial.

[[folder:Coaches]]
!!Bill Belichick
* CreepyMonotone: Always speaks in a completely flat voice.
* MadScientist: The Season 2 Halloween episode depicts him as having a house full of weird experiments, including a series of clone Gronks and even a bizarre and grotesque creation known as the "human centerpede".

[[folder:Other Significant Characters]]
!!Roger Goodell
* BigBad: Of Season 1. This was largely phased out for later seasons, although he still has his moments (such as justifying the Purge).
