Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson has most popular NFL jersey

Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson is the most popular player in the NFL, measuring by merchandise sales, according to figures released Tuesday.

Wilson, in his third year with the Seattle Seahawks, reclaimed the top jersey-sales spot held by Johnny Manziel, a college star and the backup quarterback of the Cleveland Browns, according to a news release from the NFL Players Assn.

Wilson’s Nike jersey is tops for total sales for the most recent fiscal quarter, which runs from June 1 to Aug. 31, according to the release.

The exact number of units sold was not specified.

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is No. 2 on the jersey popularity list, followed in order by Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers, Tom Brady of the New England Patriots and Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers.

Manziel remains in the top 10 at No. 7, according to the release.

Manning may not have the most popular jersey, but the quarterback, who is poised to break Brett Favre’s all-time record for passing touchdowns, does lead the league in sales of life-sized wall decals, called Fatheads, according to the release.

Packers running back Eddie Lacy had the most bobblehead sales.
