1. Brandon Phillips (@DatDudeBP)-Phillips does a great job interacting with fans and keeping a light hearted attitude towards Twitter. He truly appreciates the loyal fans that he has who reach out to him on Twitter. Phillips likes to give a preview of each series on Twitter, and tweets about his interactions with Reds fans before the games.
2. Carlos Dunlap (@Carlos_Dunlap)-Dunlap is one of the more underrated Twitter users in Cincinnati sports. He tweets a lot of inspirational quotes and fills fans in on his workout regimens. His motto on Twitter is "Rise and Grind," which he uses as motivation to train harder and harder each and every day.
3. Sam LeCure (@mrLeCure)-LeCure talks mainly about the Reds on Twitter, which is ideal for the Reds fans that follow him. He will often tweet about the games following their conclusion and describe what the team did right or wrong depending on the result. LeCure also is known for his #5things campaign, which highlight anything on his mind in bullet-point format.
4. Jay Bruce (@JayABruce)-Bruce isn't afraid to speak his mind and clash with fans on occasion on Twitter. He recently went on a Twitter rant after fans gave him grief about a supposed lack of ability to hit in clutch situations. Bruce has the last laugh on these fans as he is experiencing the best season of his career at this time. Bruce also does his best to get the word out via Twitter about the upcoming All Star Game and fan voting. Bruce also tweets about other sports besides the Reds. He is a fan of the NBA, and frequently voiced his opinions during the Finals between the Spurs and Heat.
5. David Pollack (@davidpollack47)-Pollack isn't a current player in the NFL, but he hasn't been out of the league for too long and is a top notch analyst for ESPN College Football. Pollack did a great job by proposing a creative challenge on Twitter for his followers to run at least one mile every day without any excuses. Many of his followers joined him in the challenge.
6. Sean Kilpatrick (@SeanKilpatrick_)-Kilpatrick answers most of his fans' tweets and fills his followers in on his offseason schedule when he is not on campus at UC. Kilpatrick recently was named to Team USA U-21, and has been tweeting a lot about his experience on the team.
7. Todd Frazier (@FlavaFraz21)-Frazier, much like LeCure, talks a great deal about the Reds on Twitter. He is a really good follow for anyone who wants to know a player's perspective after a win or a loss.
8. Vontaze Burfict (@King55Tez)-Burfict always tweets what is on his mind. He is good friends with a lot of the Bengals players on Twitter like Geno Atkins, Dunlap, and Jermaine Gresham, and frequently tweets at them. Burfict will only gain followers if he continues to produce on the field.9. Semaj Christon (@SemajChriston)-Christon is consistently inclined to answer fans' questions on Twitter, and uses the platform to talk about the Musketeers. Christon's name on Twitter is "m.j,"which probably means his idol and role model in the game of basketball growing up was Michael Jordan.
10. Chad Johnson (@ochocinco)-Johnson has the most followers out of any other athlete in this list by far, but he is a classic example of someone who misuses the site to the detriment of his team. Johnson was always getting in trouble with the coaches of the Bengals regarding his Twitter account, and it probably played a large part in his exit of the league. Johnson does it all on Twitter; interacts with fans, tweets about his McDonald's food runs, and brags that he is currently over 200 pounds of muscle. Some fans probably enjoyed that the former Pro Bowl wide receiver was offline for a week while he served his jail sentence.
