Top 20 Athletes with the Most Swagger

Brandon ReiterNov 28, 2011

What makes a good athlete? Skill. Experience. Knowledge. Timing. Luck.

What makes a good athlete fun to watch? Swagger.

Swagger is an overlooked quality among athletes, but the truth is swagger can make or break an athlete. Athlete's that know how to win and can pretend like they do it everyday have swagger. Athlete's that freak out every time they get a first down do not have swagger. Sometimes swagger can be a bad quality as it can create  a negative image, but a lot of the times it will be the difference from another stereotypical good athlete and the next "fun to watch" athlete.
