This Franchise Altering Wide Receiver Has Taken Over GOAT Tom Brady in NFL Jersey Sales And No One Saw it Coming

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams is already putting up more impressive numbers than Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. While the season hasn’t begun in 2022, the numbers from the annual NFL shop sales regarding the hottest selling jerseys were recently revealed. The standings have witnessed some unexpected shake-ups following blockbuster trades during the offseason.

The incoming Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson and his No.3 jersey took home the top spot for this year’s ranking. But it is down the order at the 4th spot that Adams has made a significant scalp by overtaking the 7-time Super Bowl champion in jersey sales. While the Buccaneers QB finds himself in the No.5 spot, the Raiders trade in the offseason gave Adams the edge over Brady.

The other players in the Top 5 positions include Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen in the 2nd spot and new Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett. As the 2022 season approaches, all the new acquisitions like Wilson, Adams, and Pickett will aim to leave their mark. It will be challenging for all the new faces to hit the ground running from Week 1 against some of the world’s best players.

While Adams is a bonafide superstar in the league, Tom Brady is the undisputed GOAT of the sport and shirt sales over the years. However, the recent discussions surrounding his decision to walk away and retire might have had a bearing on sales. The uncertainty among fans and the rise of new stars like Adams, Allen, and Pickett led to Brady’s fall in the annual rankings.
