This week the NFL revealed which players had the top selling jerseys in the month of September.
At the top of the list was Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Tom Brady. Right behind him was New England Patriots quarterback, Cam Newton.
Both players’ placement on the rankings shouldn’t come as a surprise.
Brady left the Patriots this past offseason and joined the Buccaneers, rendering all his old jerseys old news. The same was true for Newton, who parted ways with the Carolina Panthers and took Brady’s spot in New England.
In third place was Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, followed by Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. As those two are a couple of the biggest and brightest young stars in the whole NFL, them making the top five wasn’t especially surprising either.

What was mildly surprising is who came in at No. 5.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb rounded out the top five, clearly bolstered by Oklahoma faithful who wanted to support him. Lamb is the only wide receiver and lone rookie to make the cut.
Sixth place went to Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs, seventh to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, eighth to Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot and ninth to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

The last surprise of the list was No. 10, which went to San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle. Obviously the 27-year-old is objectively a stud on the football field, but tight ends don’t generally stand out enough to get this sort of love.
Clearly Kittle is doing something right, though.

All in all, outside of Lamb and Kittle, there weren’t too many big surprises on this list.
Allen will likely continue to climb the rankings as Buffalo keeps getting better with him at the helm, Mahomes and Jackson will probably stay somewhere in the top four, and Wilson may creep up depending on whether he continues on his current MVP trajectory.
