If the Texans are experiencing a little slack, this is not the case for sales of CJ Stroud (QB) jerseys. The NFL released its top 10 on Tuesday jerseys the most purchased in 2024. Between April 1 and October 31, the young nugget from Houston occupies first place in the ranking. And CJ Stroud's popularity extends well beyond merchandise. The match between the Texans and the Lions last Sunday was broadcast nationally and attracted no less than 19.3 million spectators. For a match played in week 10, this is the best score in 5 years. It was also the third consecutive Houston match broadcast on American television. Proof if any were needed that drafting well has an impact much greater than the simple reality on the ground…
CJ Stroud, youth leader
Alongside CJ Stroud in the top 10, the aficionados gave pride of place to youth. For example, we find rookies Caleb Williams (QB, Bears) and Jayden Daniels (QB, Commanders). The two quarterbacks are second and fifth respectively. Another example, the young receivers have definitely taken control. Indeed, Amon-Ra St-Brown (Lions), Justin Jefferson (Vikings) and CeeDee Lamb (Cowboys) are the only representatives of the category. More predictable, we can also see the names of Patrick Mahomes (QB, Chiefs), still on the podium, and Josh Allen (QB, Bills) while the absence of certain names like Travis Kelce or Lamar Jackson may be surprising. On defense, the only two representatives are Aidan Hutchinson (DE, Lions) and Maxx Crosby (DE, Raiders).
