Will there ever be a more famous NFL player than O.J. Simpson?

He's the only NFL player who's a household name even among people who don't follow the sport at all just like everybody knows who Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods are. He is also the only football player who is legitimately famous worldwide. Will there ever be a day when another football player surpasses O.J. in overall fame? I don't see it happening.

World famous because of murder not because of his play on the field.

I guarantee Peyton and Tom are more world famous than OJ because of their play on the field. Not even close either.

In fairness, playing Nordberg in the Naked Gun movies probably really raised his profile in Asia and the Eastern Bloc.

True. I stopped being a fan after the shame that ensued after Bounty-gate.

Idk about OJ level but because of twitter Odell's name became world famous after his catch. Even accounts I follow from Europe were tweeting about it.
