Steelers’ rookie Kenny Pickett has No. 4 NFL jersey sales

Kenny Pickett was drafted 20th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers just months ago, and the quarterback from Pitt has one of the highest-selling NFL jerseys before he even plays in his first NFL game.

Despite being on the team for only about three months, Pickett only trails Russell Wilson, Josh Allen and Davante Adams in NFL sales and is ahead of players such as Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and Cooper Kupp.

Before the NFL released its list, the NFL players’ association projected Pickett to be in the top 10 of jersey sales by the end of his first season. Right now, he tops the 2022 Risings Stars list. 

The rookie quarterback joins Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Le’Veon Bell, James Connor and T.J.Watt as Steelers who had Top 10-sellers in recent years.

Pickett will have to compete with veteran starter Mitch Trubisky and returning backup Mason Rudolph for the starting position.
