There’s a new king of NFL merchandise sales and it shouldn’t be much of a surprise. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes moved past Tom Brady into the No. 1 spot on the NFLPA’s list of top 50 selling players.
The list is considered a ranking of players based on sales from March 1, 2019 through Feb. 29, 2020.
Brady, who signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after the 2019 season, fell to number 2.
The list is made up of sales reports for all officially licensed NFL player-identified merchandise and includes online and traditional retail outlets as reported by dozens of NFLPA licensees.
Categories include trading cards, bobbleheads, collectible figures, men’s, women’s and youth game jerseys, T-shirts and hoodies, wall decals, pennants, matted and framed photos and many other items.
While it doesn’t likely include items sold at places such as hobby shops, card shows or on Facebook, it does provide some valuable insight on the most popular players at the current time. From a trading card perspective, it’s likely Kyler Murray, Deshaun Watson, Josh Allen, Daniel Jones, Davante Adams, Sam Darnold and Josh Jacobs would have fared a little better.
