Christian McCaffrey is among the players who lead in NFL shirt sales this year. The running back was among the top three players whose 2023 jerseys sold the most. According to CTV News, McCaffery's jersey was still the most sought-after when San Francisco took on the Detroit Lions in the NFC Conference Finals in January.

McCafferey's jersey sales have gotten off to a great start this year. It's likely because of his impressive 2023 NFL performance that saw him win the Offensive Player of the Year award. The running back gained 1,459 yards on 272 runs and 21 touchdowns in 16 games last season. He also earned his third career Pro Bowl nod.

Travis Kelce is among the most-liked players in the NFL for several reasons, so it is not surprising that he is on this list.

In addition to his on-field achievements, Kelce presents the podcast ‘New Heights’ with his brother, former NFL player Jason Kelce. He is in a relationship with pop singer Taylor Swift. These undoubtedly contribute significantly to the tight end's appeal, raising his jersey sale numbers.

3) QB Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs

Unsurprisingly, quarterback Patrick Mahomes' No. 15 jersey is among the top three best-selling in the league heading into a new season. He has become popular since he became the Chiefs' starter in 2018.

Mahomes, who has played in four Super Bowls and won three in just six years as a starter, has rewritten what it implies to have early success. He is also the youngest player to earn a league MVP and a Super Bowl MVP award. The quarterback's jersey sales have gotten off to a great start this year, and it will probably be in high demand throughout the season.

2) C Jason Kelce (retired) - Philadelphia Eagles

Jason Kelce is still one of the most well-liked players in the NFL this year despite having declared his retirement from the game.

One of the reasons why Kelce is popular among supporters is his carefree, entertaining demeanor off the field. He is also a great player for the Philadelphia Eagles, giving it his all on the field. Being the elder brother of Travis Kelce also helps.

As Kelce will not be an NFL player in 2024, it seems unlikely he will be on this list when the year ends. He should be proud that he is among the top five in jersey sales thus far this year, though.

1) QB Jalen Hurts - Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts leads the league in jersey sales before the 2024 season commences.

Hurts guided the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 2022 and came in second place for MVP honors that year. He is among the players with the highest-selling NFL jersey since establishing himself as one of the top dual-threat signal-callers in his short time as a starter.

Hurts is still a young athlete who will undoubtedly be at the top of many more lists of best-selling jerseys.
