Cowboys’ Micah Parsons Tops NFL Jersey Sales List
FRISCO - Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons' popularity is indisputable. … and as proof: Parsons had the NFL's best-selling jersey from sports apparel retailer Lids during the 2023 season.
Parsons even topped Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who ranked No. 2. The charismatic quarterback has led the Chiefs to Super Bowl four times in the last five years.
Some of Parsons' popularity comes from his honesty on social media and his podcast.
Being a star on "America's Team" comes with ever-present attentions, high expectations and a lot of opinions. No one shoulders more blame that quarterback Dak Prescott, who has the fifth best selling jersey on the list.
