The NFL Players Association released its list of the top 50 players in individual product and merchandise sales on Thursday, with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes claiming the top spot.
The list accounts for “all officially licensed, NFL player-branded merchandise sold from online and traditional retail outlets as reported by over 85 NFLPA licensees” from March 1, 2024 through Aug. 31. “Licensed product categories included trading cards, men’s, women’s and youth game jerseys, T-shirts and hoodies, backpacks, wall decals, pennants, collectible figurines, matted and framed photos, bobbleheads, plush, drinkware, pet products, and many more,” according to the NFLPA.
Only two defensive players — the Detroit Lions’ Aidan Hutchinson and the Dallas Cowboys’ Micah Parsons — made the top 10:
- Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
- C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans
- Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles
- Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears
- Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
- Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit Lions
- Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions
