Justin Jefferson has proved to be one of the NFL’s most marketable athletes.
The NFL Players Association has released its year-end top 50 NFL players sales list and it shows that from March 1, 2023 to Feb. 29, 2024 Jefferson products were the 10th-most commanded items associated with NFL players.

The top-50 list includes 20 quarterbacks, 16 receivers, four defensive linemen, three running backs, three linebackers, two tight ends, one defensive back and one offensive lineman (Kelce).
The data is based on retails sales, both online and in stores, of officially licensed NFL player products, including jerseys, t-shirts, hoodies, bobbleheads, plush toys, socks, face coverings, headbands, figurines, wall decals, credit cards, backpacks, Fatheads, drinkware, pet products and more.
