Seeing which player's jerseys is selling well is kinda fun. Here are the top selling NFL jerseys for the month of May.
1. Marshawn Lynch
2. Tom Brady
3. Dak Prescott
4. Ezekiel Elliott
5. DeShaun Watson
6. Derek Carr
7. Odell Beckham Jr.
8. Carson Wentz
9. Julio Jones
10. Rob Gronkowski
11. James Conner
12. Aaron Rodgers
13. Matthew Stafford
14. Antonio Brown
15. Khalil Mack
16. Julian Edelman
17. Colin Kaepernick
18. Von Miller
19. Matt Ryan
20. Dez Bryant
21. Russell Wilson
22. Jason Witten
23. Cam Newton
24. Drew Brees
25. Adrian Peterson
New players to the NFL and players on new teams will always have an edge in jersey sales. Unless you're Tom Brady. Doesn't every Patriots fan already have a Brady jersey? At least one? Oakland-native Marshawn Lynch was sure to be a jersey-selling hit with his new team. The only surprise might be how easily his jersey outsold that of Adrian Peterson. Another great back with a new team.
Two rookies are among the top-25. DeShaun Watson at #5 is really no surprise. He's a new, young quarterback on a new team. The sales are a pretty clear indication of the fan's favorite in the quarterback competition of the Houston Texans. The bigger rookie surprise is Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner at #11. He might be a third round pick. He might be playing behind one of the league's best backs in LeVeon Bell. But Conner beat cancer and he played at Pitt. He already had a nice Pittsburgh fan base before the Steelers drafted him.
The biggest surprise of the top-selling jersey's for May has to be Colin Kaepernick at #17. He's unemployed with little on the horizon that might change that situation. His jersey is obviously popular for what he's doing off the field and probably for what he did on the sidelines last season. The NFL and any team with a shaky quarterback group should take notice of this.
Team Rankings:
Dallas Cowboys: 4 (Prescott, Elliott, Bryant, Witten)
Oakland Raiders: 3 (Lynch, Carr, Mack)
New England Patriots: 3 (Brady, Gronkowski, Edelman)
Atlanta Falcons: 2 (Jones, Ryan)
Pittsburgh Steelers: 2 (Conner, Brown)
New Orleans Saints: 2 (Brees, Peterson)
That leaves nine teams with one. And 17 teams with none among the top-25.
Khalil Mack and Von Miller are the only defensive players. Offense sells.
