Justin Fields has been arguably the most popular athlete in Chicago since he was selected with the 11th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and according to the latest Top 50 NFL Player Sales List from the NFLPA he’s also one of the most popular players in the entire league.
Here’s how the top 10 shaped up.
1) Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2) Patrick Mahomes II, Kansas City Chiefs
3) Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
4) Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
5) CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys
6) Justin Fields, Chicago Bears
7) Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys
8) Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
9) Rob Gronkowski, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
10) Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
Considering this ranking is for the period from March 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, and Fields wasn’t even in the NFL until April 29, I’d say fans are extremely high on Fields’ prospects to be a damn good NFL player.
