Since the Philadelphia Eagles selected Jalen Hurts in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, he has steadily developed.
Hurts has passed for over 3,000 yards in the last three years, dating back to the 2021 season, and has guided the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 2022.
Philly was eliminated in the Wild Card round in 2023 after Hurts threw the most interceptions and lost the most fumbles in his career that season.
Despite those losses, the NFLPA recently announced on Twitter that the quarterback lead all players in officially licenced NFL goods sales between March 1, 2023 and February 29, 2024.

Jason Kelce, the former Eagles centre who retired this summer, is second on the list.
Kelce’s brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, ranks fourth.
According to the NFLPA, Hurts’ ranking on the list rose from fifth in 2022-2023 to first this year.
Furthermore, Jason Kelce’s ranking in the pecking order set a record for offensive lineman sales and the highest for a non-quarterback.
Despite Kansas City’s two Super Bowl victories, Patrick Mahomes (No. 3 on the list) and Travis Kelce were unable to overtake the two Eagles.
Christian McCaffrey of San Francisco was the highest-ranked running back (No. 5), while Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons was the sole defender in the top ten (No. 9).
Interestingly, Aaron Rodgers entered the top six despite only playing four snaps for the New York Jets in 2023.
