Deflategate has apparently not taken the air out of Tom Brady’s popularity. For the first time ever, the New England QB with the four Super Bowl rings and four-week suspension topped the NFLPA’s list of best-selling players for licensed merchandise.
As usual, QBs dominated the list, which covers physical and online sales of game jerseys and off-field apparel, accessories, electronics, figurines, etc. in the first quarter of FY 2016. Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning rounded out the top 5.
