Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Some of the biggest stars in the NFL including Russell Wilson and Rob Gronkowski appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday for the second football-infused edition of Mean Tweets ahead of Super Bowl LI.

"I'm tired of people saying, Russell Wilson is too short to play quarterback. He's ugly too," the Seattle Seahawks star read out loud during the segment which requires guests to recite some of the meanest comments fans had written about them on Twitter.

"Rob Gronkowski is one of the dumbest people in the world, I have no problem tweeting this because he probably can't read it," one fan wrote to the Patriots tight end who replied, "I just read it."

Other NFL stars who were featured included Odell Beckham Jr., J.J. Watt, DeMarco Murray, Michael Irvin, Tony Romo, Kurt Warner, Terrell Davis, Joey Bosa, Maurice Jones-Drew, DeMarcus Ware, Josh Norman and last year's Super Bowl MVP Von Miller of the Denver Broncos.
