One of the coolest things about becoming an NFL quarterback, and there are many, is that you get to see your name on thousands of jerseys across the country. In the case of long-term players like Tom Brady, he would have likely sold millions of jerseys over the course of his 23-year career.
While it doesn’t really mean much at the end of the day, it is still an honor to rank at the top of the NFL’s jersey sales. In this past month of June, two former Alabama players made the NFL top 10 in jersey sales in [autotag]Jalen Hurts[/autotag] and [autotag]Bryce Young[/autotag]. Hurts actually led the entire league in the month while Young had the ninth most sales.
Hurts has quickly become one of the most beloved players in the league from his cool off-the-field demeanor to his All-Time performance in the Super Bowl. He became the NFL’s highest-paid player, briefly, this off-season before being surpassed by the Ravens Lamar Jackson. The Eagles look to be back in the Super Bowl conversation in 2023 and Jalen Hurts looks to improve on his MVP runner-up season from last year.
For Young, he is the only rookie on the list and only trailing behind guys like Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow. Funny enough, the No. 8 spot on the list belongs to Brady and his Bucs jersey as he rides off into retirement. The Panthers’ teal blue shade makes for an attractive-looking uniform, but Young is another high IQ and good valued kid that fans can rally behind.
I think that Hurts will stay high on this list for the majority of the season while Young is only going to get to become more of a household name as the season goes on.
