New York Giants' Malik Nabers among NFL's top 50 players in merchandise sales
New York Giants' Malik Nabers among NFL's top 50 players in merchandise sales New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is a superstar after just one season, wowing NFL audiences with his dazzling athleticism and circus catches. Nabers broke several NFL and franchise records as a rookie and appears poised to put up even bigger numbers in 2025 thanks to the additions of quarterbacks Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jaxson Dart. For those reasons, it should come as little surprise that Nabers catapulted up the NFLPA's list of merchandise sales, landing firmly in spot No. 36 from March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025. The NFLPA's Top 50 Player Sales List ranks the league's top retail performers based on sales of officially licensed player products from March 1, 2024, to February 28, 2025. It is the most comprehensive and up-to-date snapshot of player-driven consumer demand, offering a strong indicator of the NFL's most marketable and influential athletes – impacting everything from endorsements to overall earning potential. These rankings go beyond jersey sales, covering a wide range of product categories including apparel, bobbleheads, accessories, figurines, wall decals, backpacks, drinkware and more. These are the only verified rankings based on officially licensed NFL player products sold through both online and in-store retail channels, as reported by over 85 NFLPA licensees. Somewhat ironically -- and perhaps sourly -- former Giant Saquon Barkley unseated Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, becoming the first running back to claim the No. 1 spot since 2017 (Ezekiel Elliott). Despite that, Nabers' strong showing should not be overlooked. Nine NFLPA Rising Stars broke through the year-end rankings—a strong signal of future retail power. Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, Drake Maye, Malik Nabers, Puka Nacua, Sam LaPorta, and JJ McCarthy all turned early buzz into real consumer demand. Current Giants quarterback Russell Wilson finished 41st in year-end sales, although that came as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Josh Allen alone on top 50 NFLPA list from Buffalo Bills but still trails big names in fan product sales (Image via Getty) In recent years, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been one of the most talked-about players in the NFL in some capacity. Whether it's amazing performances on the field, being the cover of Madden NFL 24, or winning 2024 NFL MVP, Josh Allen has kept himself at the forefront of fans' conversation. Most recently, Josh Allen again generated buzz in the media in May 2025 when he married his fiancé, actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld in a private wedding in California. After all that talk, many have more recently begun to look into where Josh Allen stands in the NFL merchandise sales. He has a rapidly expanding fan base, but is he at the top? Josh Allen ranked sixth in NFL merchandise sales, behind five household names Released by the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) this week was its Top 50 Player Sales List, which recorded Josh Allen sixth among all NFL players in merchandise sales from March 1, 2024, to February 28, 2025. Among the league-licensed items available are t-shirts, caps, trading cards, drinkware, backpacks, and even pet gear. The players listed ahead of Josh Allen were: 1. Saquon Barkley (Philadelphia Eagles) 2. Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) 3. Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles) 4. Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders) 5. C.J. Stroud (Houston Texans) Josh Allen, 28, is the only Buffalo Bills player on the top 50 for this year. Stefon Diggs was on the list last year but moved to the Houston Texans after Josh Allen. The NFLPA reported that Josh Allen continues to have strong fan support despite being in a smaller market. Patrick Mahomes and Saquon Barkley are both top 50 again When the NFLPA released the top 50 list in June 2025, many fans probably were not shocked to see Patrick Mahomes and Saquon Barkley on top again. Patrick Mahomes is still one of the most recognized faces in all of football while Saquon Barkley just elevated his personal brand (and popularity) with a recent deal to the Philadelphia Eagles. 'Josh Allen has become a household name,' said NFLPA representative Sarah Franklin. 'He's not just winning games. He's winning hearts across the country.'If you want to see the full NFLPA Top 50 list, you can check it out on their website, released on June 11, 2025.
