The Las Vegas Raiders have seen a steady increase in their Twitter/X followers over the past two years, but has that been enough for them to move up on the list of the most followers in the NFL?
The answer is no. However, according to NFL analyst Rene Bugner, the Raiders have seen an increase of 4.2% in their X following since May 16, 2022, which gives them a total of 1.944 million followers. That ranks 15th in the league, the same spot Las Vegas sat in the last time Bugner calculated each team's following.
It is a bit surprising that the Raiders don't have more followers, considering the size of the fan base. Clearly, a large percentage of Las Vegas' fan base simply isn't on X, and I can't say I blame them for that decision at all.
The team with the most followers in the NFL are the New England Patriots, with 4.672 million. The Dallas Cowboys (4.408 million) and Philadelphia Eagles (3.887 million) round out the top three.
