Jayson Jenks of The Athletic published a story about NFL players’ love of Uncrustables this week. That’s right, Uncrustables — the frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches without crust.
“Before practice, during training camp and in the halftime locker room, they are a favorite of players across the NFL, a touch of childhood wrapped in plastic,” Jenks wrote.
The article estimates that NFL teams consume at least 80,000 Uncrustables a year. The Denver Broncos lead the way with an estimated 700 Uncrustables eaten per week.
The Broncos have 53 players on their active roster, 17 players on their practice squad and seven players on injury lists. That’s 77 total players, which averages out to 9.09 Uncrustables per player each week, by far the most in the NFL.
