Coming in second on the top-selling jersey list is Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, who went No. 1 in the draft.

New England Patriots quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady is third on the list. Brady was suspended for four games without pay by the NFL for his role in the Deflategate scandal. He is appealing the suspension.
