Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott leads NFL merchandise sales list
Dallas Cowboys rookies Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott finished 1-2 in licensed NFL player merchandise sales last season, the NFL Players Association announced on Wednesday.
Prescott, like in the NFL Rookie of the Year voting, finished No. 1 in jersey sales ahead of Elliott. Elliott, however, led in overall merchandise sales.
“It’s pretty humbling,” Elliott said in a statement. “When you’re a rookie, you’re just looking to put your head down, help the team, and learn the ropes. To accomplish this level of success off the field shows just how passionate football fans are in Dallas, Ohio, my home state of Missouri and all around the world. And to be up there with (teammates) Dak and Dez (Bryant), alongside great players like Tom Brady and Odell Beckham, is very special to me.”
Brady, the longtime Patriots quarterback, was third in overall sales, followed by Bryant and New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham.
