The Top Player Sales List was released yesterday. It's a passing league and the leaders in merchandise sales are mostly quarterbacks. Nine of the top-10 are quarterbacks. Here are the top-20 players in merchandise sales:
1. Russell Wilson Seattle Seahawks
2. Peyton Manning Denver Broncos
3. Colin Kaepernick San Francisco 49ers
4. Robert Griffin III Washington Redskins
5. Aaron Rodgers Green Bay Packers
6. Tom Brady New England Patriots
7. Marshawn Lynch Seattle Seahawks
8. Eli Manning New York Giants
9. Andrew Luck Indianapolis Colts
10. Drew Brees New Orleans Saints
11. J.J. Watt Houston Texans
12. Richard Sherman Seattle Seahawks
13. Adrian Peterson Minnesota Vikings
14. Clay Matthews Green Bay Packers
15. Jason Witten Dallas Cowboys
16. Patrick Willis San Francisco 49ers
17. Troy Polamalu Pittsburgh Steelers
18. Rob Gronkowski New England Patriots
19. Arian Foster Houston Texans
20. Calvin Johnson Detroit Lions
-the sales are based on all licnesed products-jerseys, t-shirts, player murals, figurines, matted and framed photos, bobbleheads, and stuff like that.
Of the top-20, the player that surprises me the most is Jason Witten. Especially seeing that he sells more stuff than teammate Tony Romo. I like Witten a lot. If I was to stoop so low as to buy a Cowboys jersey, that jersey would be a Witten jersey. I'm just surprised that Cowboys fans reach for Witten merchandise more often than Romo merchandise. The public likes winners. Three players from the Seattle Seahawks are among the top-20. There are also two members of the Houston Texans. The worst team in the league last season.
