When you have a season like the one the Los Angeles Rams just had, players are bound to become more popular. That was certainly the case for Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford, who had the best seasons of their careers.
Aaron Donald has always been Aaron Donald, but Kupp and Stafford sold more merchandise in the last year than they probably ever have in the NFL.
According to the NFLPA’s latest list of player sales, Kupp, Stafford and Donald all cracked the top 30. Donald was the highest-ranked Ram at No. 14, followed by Stafford at No. 20 and Kupp at No. 29.
This list includes the sales of officially licensed NFL player products and merchandise from March 1, 2021 to Feb. 28, 2022, so it spans a full year of product sales.
At No. 1 was Tom Brady, followed by Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Mac Jones in the top five. The highest-ranked defender was T.J. Watt at No. 12.
This year, the Rams should rank even higher on the list after winning Super Bowl LVI. They’re only growing in popularity each year, and they’ve never had as much attention on them as they do right now.
With stars such as Donald, Kupp, Stafford and Jalen Ramsey, the Rams should be one of the top-selling teams in terms of NFL merchandise.
