Neither\u00a0Patrick Mahomes<\/span>\u00a0nor\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/span>\u00a0led the NFL in merchandise sales over the offseason despite winning their third\u00a0Super Bowl<\/span>\u00a0to close last year’s chapter.<\/p>\n

Over two weeks into the 2024-25 season, the NFL Players Association released the league’s\u00a0Top 50 sales\u00a0list – noting which players had the most officially licensed products sold.<\/p>\n

With Mahomes falling second on the list, sophomore quarterback\u00a0CJ Stroud<\/span>\u00a0of the\u00a0Houston Texans<\/span>\u00a0had fans spending money over the offseason more than anybody else.<\/p>\n

In his rookie campaign, Stroud became a rising star in 15 appearances for Houston. The Ohio State product completed 319 of 499 passes for 4,108 yards and 23 touchdowns.<\/p>\n

He also rarely turned the ball over, with just five interceptions last season.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"Second<\/div>\n
Second year quarterback CJ Stroud topped the list released by the NFL Players Association<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\"Neither<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Neither Patrick Mahomes nor Travis Kelce led the NFL in merchandise sales in the offseason<\/p>\n

Stroud was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year after leading the Texans to a 10-7 record on top of the AFC South. Houston would also make their first postseason appearance since 2019 before losing to the Ravens in the Divisional playoffs.<\/p>\n

Behind Stroud and Mahomes are Lions defensive end Aiden Hutchinson, Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow to complete the top 5.<\/p>\n

Slots six through ten are occupied by Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, his running back Saquon Barkley, Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, and 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy.<\/p>\n

Mahomes’ teammate and Chiefs kicker, Harrison Butker, went 11th on the list despite a controversial offseason. The kicker was under fire for his comments about women and the LGBTQ community during an\u00a0infamous commencement address<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\n

Nonetheless, Butker sold more merch in the offseason than Kelce, who sits 12th on the list. Kelce sits ahead of Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love, and Garrett Wilson to close the top 15.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"Defensive<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Bengals<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\"Controversial<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Controversial Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker sold more merchandise than Kelce<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Other notable mentions are Josh Allen at the 16th, Russell Wilson at the 18th, Christian McCaffrey at the 23rd, and Tyreek Hill at the 28th slot.<\/p>\n

Fellow quarterbacks Lamar Jackson, Trevor Lawrence, Tua Tagovailoa, Kirk Cousins, and Beker Mayfield sit at 30, 33, 40, 43, and 50, respectively. Meanwhile, Chiefs rising star Isaiah Pacheco secured the 32nd slot.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs and the Eagles each had four players on the list. However, the Detroit Lions fanbase proved to show love to their players over the summer, with six players listed.<\/p>\n

Detroit had plenty to celebrate after breaking a six-year playoff drought. Not having made it out of the first round since 1991, the Lions went all the way to the NFC Championship where they lost to the 49ers.<\/p>\n

In another list counting merchandise sales from March 2023 through February 2024, Mahomes and Kelce\u00a0fell third and fourth\u00a0behind No 1 Jalen Hurts and No 2 Jason Kelce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
