The Arizona Cardinals have a rising star in quarterback Kyler Murray. The 2019 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year is one of the most popular players in the league, according to player merchandise sales.
The NFLPA released the list of the top 50 players in terms of merchandise sales. It includes more than just jersey sales. It includes all officially licensed NFL player products and merchandise.
Murray came in No. 37 overall, the only Arizona Cardinals player to crack the top 50 overall.
Receiver Larry Fitzgerald did not make the top 50 overall but was in the top five of one particular group. Only three players in the league sold more Wincraft pins, koozies, posters and stickers. He was behind Patrick Mahomes (who sold more than three times the next player), Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson.
If he builds on his rookie season and can do in his second season what Mahomes and Jackson did in theirs, Murray’s popularity will certainly soar.
The Cardinals have a young star. He might end up the most nationally recognized quarterback the team has had in its entire history.
