With the NFL season past the halfway point, a handful of players are seeing their jerseys fly off the racks.

The NFLPA released its midseason top 50 player sales list on Tuesday, providing the data from March 1 to Aug. 31.

Unsurprisingly, Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes is leading the way with the most merchandise sold. Second-year quarterback C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans sits behind him, followed by Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

Detroit Lions star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson is the highest-ranked non-quarterback at No. 6 followed by his teammate, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, at No. 7.

According to the NFLPA, the list is based on sales of “adult and youth jerseys, T-shirts, and hoodies, to bobbleheads, plush toys, socks, and drinkware, pet products, and more” and is reported by over 80 NFLPA licensees.

Mahomes is having a bit of a down year by his standards with 2,673 passing yards, 18 touchdowns and 11 interceptions through 11 games, but the back-to-back champion is still as popular as ever and will likely see even more sales as the season continues. Mahomes was in the top five for sales last year as well, coming in at No. 3.

Along with Mahomes, there are a few names that typically land inside the top 10, like Hurts, who led the league in sales last year. Christian McCaffrey, Travis Kelce, Micah Parsons and Burrow were all in the top 10 a year ago as well.

Stroud became a fan-favorite during his rookie season when he threw for 4,108 yards, 23 touchdowns and five interceptions, and his popularity has only increased this year.

Williams is the only rookie on the list, and that’s likely due to the hype surrounding him coming into the league. The No. 1 overall pick has followed up his hype with a solid rookie year, throwing for 2,356 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions thus far.

As more players continue to break out, the top 10 is bound to change the next time the numbers are reported, but many of the names on the list will likely stick around near the top of all sales.
