Quarterbacks dominated the top 10, accounting for nine spots, including the seven best sellers. Joe Burrow was fourth thanks in part to a postseason sales boost after leading the Cincinnati Bengals to their first Super Bowl since 1988. New England Patriots rookie Mac Jones made a strong debut in merch sales, finishing fifth. Dak Prescott’s return from injury equated to a strong comeback at the registers, as the Dallas Cowboys quarterback was the sixth-best seller. The lone non-QB in the top 10 was San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, whose seventh-place finish was the highest ranking for a tight end on any NFLPA year-end list. Another rookie quarterback to crack the top 10 was Justin Fields of the Chicago Bears, who was eighth. Rounding out the top 10 was Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers. The best selling defensive player was Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt, who made the biggest jump from last season’s year-end list, going from No. 36 to No. 12. The Cowboys led the way with five players in the top 50, edging the San Francisco 49ers, who had four. The list, first introduced in 2014, reports sales of all officially licensed NFL player products from March 1, 2021 through February 28, 2022 through online and traditional retail outlets. Products includes everything from jerseys and apparel to figurines and memorabilia and more. The top five sellers on the list for the wildly-popular FUNKO Pop collectibles, you ask?
