Nick Foles Wins Again
Published:
Nick Foles beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl and also beat Tom Brady in jersey sales from March through May.
That’s via ESPN’s Darren Rovell, citing quarterly sales rankings released by the NFL Players Association.
Carson Wentz came in third and Saquon Barkley was actually fourth, if you can believe it.
Here’s the top 10:
- Nick Foles
- Tom Brady
- Carson Wentz
- Saquon Barkley
- the Cowboys’ quarterback
- Aaron Rodgers
- the Cowboys’ running back
- Jimmy Garoppolo (last seen with a porn star)
- Odell Beckham, Jr.
- Derek Carr
Some interesting notes from Rovell’s piece:
Those experiencing a big leap up from the first-quarter merchandise sales a year ago were Kirk Cousins, whose move to the Minnesota Vikings saw him jump to No. 16 from No. 48 a year ago.
Those who saw their rankings fall drastically from a year ago included Giants quarterback Eli Manning(from No. 36 to No. 48) and Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (from No. 27 to No. 50).
Kirk Cousins, eh? Lemme get one of those Kirk Cousins Minnesota Vikings jerseys. Sounds like a hot item.
