5 NFL players who sold the most jerseys in 2021
NFL fans often buy jerseys from their favorite players to support the teams that they root for. The most popular players from the most popular teams usually generate the most jersey sales. During the 2021 season, quarterbacks dominated the market regarding the number of jerseys sold across the NFL. Here are the five players who sold the most last year.
Most purchased NFL jerseys during 2021
#5 - Mac Jones, New England Patriots
When a team makes a change in their quarterback position, it can often spike that player’s jersey sales when they first join the team. This is especially true for quarterbacks selected in the first round of the NFL Draft because it signifies that the team believes in the player as their potential future franchise quarterback.
Mac Jones is an excellent example of this concept. The Patriots selected him with their first-round draft pick to take over as their starting quarterback the second year after Tom Brady left in free agency to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It looks like a good investment for fans who have purchased his jersey so far, as he had the best season of any rookie quarterback last season while finishing second in the Offensive Rookie of the Year voting.

🥈QB Mac Jones (Patriots) -- 5
🥉C Creed Humphrey (Chiefs) -- 2
4⃣ OT Rashawn Slater (Chargers) -- 1
#4 - Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals selected Joe Burrow with the first overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, he was injured during his rookie season. He bounced back in a big way in his second season by leading the Bengals to an AFC Championship game victory and appearing in the Super Bowl. He looks like the future of the Bengals, and maybe even the future of the entire league.
