The NFL Players Association on Wednesday released its ranking of the top 50 best-selling player merchandise, and the New England Patriots were well-represented.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski both ranked among the top 10 — at No. 3 and No. 9, respectively — and wide receiver Julian Edelman wasn’t far behind at No. 22.
The Patriots were one of five teams with three representatives in the top 50, while the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys each had five. The Cowboys contingent was especially strong, with running back Ezekiel Elliott (No. 1), quarterback Dak Prescott (No. 2) and wide receiver Dez Bryant (No. 4) all ranking in the top four.
