  • Mac Jones moved a lot of jerseys as a rookie, and he’s still one of the top-selling players in football heading into year 2.

    The Patriots’ second-year quarterback ranks 11th in the NFL in total jersey sales entering the 2022 season, as announced by the NFLPA on Friday. The list is based on all verified purchases of officially licensed NFL player products from March 1-May 31, 2022.

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and legendary ex-Patriot Tom Brady continues to top the list, after having ranked No. 1 at the end of the 2021 season.

  • Jones sold the sixth-most jerseys in the NFL for the first quarter of 2022, and the fifth-most jerseys of the 2021 season as a whole. So there was a bit of a drop-off for him.

    It makes sense, though. Russell Wilson skyrocketed 24 spots to No. 2 behind Brady, after heading to the Denver Broncos in a trade. Davante Adams landed at No. 7 and has had a big year of sales so far after moving from the Green Bay Packers to the Las Vegas Raiders.

  • Jones’ continued presence among the highest-selling jerseys reflects the optimism surrounding him in New England, after he and Bill Belichick led the Patriots back to the playoffs in his rookie season. In addition, the crowds in Foxboro have been large and buzzy for Jones so far at 2022 training camp.

    The Super Bowl champion Rams are well-represented in the latest rankings, with three players in the top-10: wide receiver Cooper Kupp (third), defensive tackle Aaron Donald (fifth), and quarterback Matthew Stafford (sixth). So, the hope for Patriots fans is they end up seeing representation like this a year from now.

    Here’s the full top-20 highest-selling jerseys in the NFL for the second quarter of 2022:

  • 8. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs

    Though many around New England would still put Brady in the No. 1 spot, Mahomes is still the NFL’s most purely dynamic passer, coming off a season with 38 touchdowns and just six interceptions (a better ratio than Brady).

    Mahomes is already a Super Bowl champion, Super Bowl MVP, and league MVP in just three years as the Chiefs’ starting QB. And he could still get even better. When Brady finally retires or falls off the “cliff,” it’ll be Mahomes’ league all to himself.
