Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow jerseys are flying off the shelves.
We knew this much right after the draft because the team’s pro shop was open about how many had already been ordered.
But it’s interesting to think about the context vs. the entire NFL. Where does Burrow rank among the league’s other big storylines? Especially against Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and one Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady?
Luckily for us, we can hop over to NFL Shop and sort by best selling. There, Burrow ranks among the top 10 sellers and has three jerseys sitting in the top 16.
Now in the interests of being perfectly transparent — Tagovailoa is running away with the competition, even surpassing Brady considering he’s got the top two sellers outright:
Big deal? Not really — Burrow’s playing for a smaller team with a ton of other stars like Geno Atkins, Joe Mixon and A.J. Green, to name a few. One would suspect his sales might come in a little smaller.
That said — Burrow will have plenty of jerseys out in the wild in Ohio this year and beyond, not to mention plenty among the LSU fanbase, too.
It feels like it has been a long time since the Bengals had a top-10 seller at all, let alone three in the top 20. Burrow’s expectedly a merchandise mover.
