C.J. Stroud tops the list of best-selling NFL jerseys midway through 2024 season

C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans may not have had the best weekend after blowing a 16-point lead to the Detroit Lions at home on Sunday, but the 23-year-old quarterback did get some good news on Tuesday. He has been named the NFL’s top jersey-seller through October.

The NFL Players Association revealed the top 10 selling jerseys of the year so far and, to no surprise, the list started off QB-heavy. After Stroud at No. 1, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears came in at No. 2 and Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs was No. 3.

Stroud is having a decent start to his second season in the league as his offense has dealt with multiple injuries. He’s passed for 2,371 yards and 12 touchdowns, even though he’s been without top receiver Nico Collins for five games. The Texans sit at No. 1 in the AFC South at 6-4.

The Chiefs are in pursuit of a three-peat this season, and the QB’s clutch performances are a big reason for their success. He has led an NFL-high four game-winning drives this season even while, similar to Stroud, his offense has been without key players.

Yet despite a few highs this season, the lows are currently very low in the Windy City. The Bears are now fourth in the NFC North with a record of 4-5 and fired their offensive coordinator Shane Waldron on Tuesday after a three-game losing streak.
