October 14, 2014 - 4:39 pm
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has the hottest-selling jersey in pro football, according to data released Tuesday by the NFL Players’ Association.
Wilson soared past Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, whose jersey was No. 1 on the NFL’s best-seller list for the first quarter of the fiscal year but dropped to seventh after he failed to win the starting job in a preseason battle with Brian Hoyer.
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning was second, followed by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant, Manziel, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, Cowboys tight end Jason Witten and Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt.
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman just missed the top 10, finishing 11th.
