Jalen Hurts was awarded a prestigious accolade, courtesy of NFL enthusiasts.

Since being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, en HJalurts has shown steady improvement. During the 2021 season and onward, he surpassed 3,000 passing yards for three consecutive years and guided the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 2022. However, in 2023, despite a Wild Card round loss where Hurts experienced a career-high in interceptions and fumbles, he managed to lead all players in officially licensed NFL product sales from March 1, 2023, to February 29, 2024, as reported by the NFLPA on Twitter. Former Eagles center Jason Kelce, who retired in the past offseason, secured the second spot on the list, while his brother Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Chiefs, ranked fourth. Hurts climbed from fifth in sales in 2022-2023 to first in the latest year, while Jason Kelce’s position set a record for offensive lineman sales and the highest ever for a non-quarterback. Despite the Kansas City Chiefs winning the last two Super Bowls, neither Patrick Mahomes (ranked third) nor Travis Kelce managed to surpass the Eagles’ players. Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers emerged as the highest-ranking running back (fifth), with Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons being the sole defender in the top ten (ninth). Notably, Aaron Rodgers secured a top-six position despite playing only four snaps for the New York Jets in 2023. Completing the top ten is Justin Jefferson, a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, who recently signed a record-breaking four-year, $140 million extension, making it the largest contract ever for a receiver and a non-quarterback.
