The ranking of the ten best-selling NFL jerseys is astonishing. At No. 5, we find a 3rd quarterback from a mediocre team. On the other hand, he has a very well-known surname in the world of football.

According to the NFLPA's official website, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is ranked 5th in sales. An impressive trade performance, especially for a player who isn't even guaranteed playing time in 2025.

Sanders, son of legend and college coach Deion Sanders, joined Cleveland with a great deal of media attention. Yet he is currently only the third quarterback in the Browns' hierarchy.

Despite this position, his jersey sells more than that of Patrick Mahomes, three-time Super Bowl winner and undisputed superstar of the Kansas City Chiefs.

This sudden popularity illustrates the enormous buzz surrounding the Sanders name and fans' curiosity about his potential.

Cleveland, a city with a passion for football, has been quick to embrace the young quarterback, even if his chances of taking the field this season remain slim.

A craze that goes beyond the field

The fact that Sanders has overtaken established stars such as Lamar Jackson (8th) or even Josh Allen (4th) demonstrates that a player's market value depends on more than just his current performance. Marketing, family heritage and media exposure are also important factors.

For the Browns, this sudden rise in sales represents an unexpected asset, generating valuable revenue and visibility for the organization. If Sanders ever manages to establish himself as a starter, his aura could explode even further, strengthening the bond between Cleveland and its new darling.

Elsewhere in the rankings, Saquon Barkley (1st) and Jalen Hurts (2nd) confirm the Eagles' dominance, while Bo Nix (9th) and Jayden Daniels (3rd) testify to the young quarterbacks' growing place in the hearts of fans.

But it's Shedeur Sanders, the Browns' third quarterback, who steals the show with his ability to win over fans even before playing a single snap in the NFL.
