The NFLPA published this Monday its traditional top 50 players with the most sales of official NFL products. With a somewhat unexpected leader: Jalen Hurts.
The ranking takes into account the period from March 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024. Clearly, these are the official dates for the 2023-24 season. All products are concerned: jerseys (adults and children), t-shirts, hoodies up to water bottles and accessories for dogs.
Hurts succeeds Patrick Mahomes, leader over the previous period.
This year, it was good to play for the Eagles or the Chiefs or even to be called Kelce.
In the top 5 we find in order: Jalen Hurts (QB, Eagles), Jason Kelce (C, Eagles/retirement), Patrick Mahomes (QB, Chiefs), Travis Kelce (TE, Chiefs) and Christian McCaffrey (RB, 49ers).
Jason Kelce's second place is the best ranking in history for a player not playing at quarterback. For his brother Travis, the relationship with Taylor Swift had boosted sales at the start of the season.
Jalen Hurts, Aaron Rodgers, long live green
Aaron Rodgers (QB, Jets) in the colors of the Jets aroused the curiosity of fans despite his white season. Injured or not, the former MVP is 6th in this ranking.
Between the expected players like Justin Jefferson (WR, Vikings) 10th, Tyreek Hill (WR, Dolphins) 14th or Justin Herbert (QB, Chargers) 28th, we also find some surprises like Isiah Pacheco (RB, Chiefs) 41st or even Tyler Lockett (WR, Seahawks) and Mac Jones (QB, Patriots for poll period) 49th and 50th, respectively.
Anthony Richardson (QB, Colts) is already showing great popularity since he is found in 44th place. But he is not the first rookie, since Bryce Young (QB, Panthers) is just ahead.
