Every year I say the same thing, but it bears repeating apparently. Tom Brady should not be the No. 1 players in merchandise sales. At this point, everyone in New England has to have something like five Brady jerseys. This year is no different. Brady leads the league from March to May according to NFL Players Inc. The rest of the top-10 looks like this:
- Tom Brady
- Odell Beckham Jr.
- Kalil Mack
- Sam Darnold
- Baker Mayfield
- Patrick Mahomes II
- Aaron Rodgers
- Antonio Brown
- Ezekiel Elliott
- Saquon Barkley
Beckham Jr. makes sense since he joined a new team. Mack, Darnold, Mayfield, Barkley, and for all intents and purposes Mahomes are all in their second year with their current team.
The next list should have more rookies. The highest rookie selling rookie was Kyler Murray at No. 21. Nick Bosa was next at No. 27.
Also, Rob Gronkowski — even though he retired, came in at 17. A lot of people must be hoping for a comeback.
