Despite being the 144th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, new Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders has the third-best-selling jersey so far among incoming rookies.

The NFL released a list of the 10 best-selling jerseys from the 2025 NFL Draft, as of Monday (in order):

  • Jaguars receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter
  • Titans quarterback Cam Ward
  • Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders
  • Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty
  • Panthers receiver Tetairoa McMillan
  • Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart
  • Giants edge rusher Abdul Carter
  • Packers receiver Matthew Golden
  • Colts tight end Tyler Warren
  • Bears tight end Colston Loveland

The jerseys are selling for $129.99 on the official NFL Shop website, which is run by Fanatics. While Hunter’s No. 12 jersey and Ward’s No. 1 jersey top the list, Sanders’s is shown as 00 for now. There is no Browns player currently wearing No. 2, which Sanders wore in college, but he is listed as an unsigned draft pick on Cleveland’s official roster page.

Ups and Downs

The hot-selling jersey for a fifth-round draft pick is the latest twist in the roller coaster of events around Sanders.

As Sanders was not picked during the first two days of the draft, eventually falling to the fifth round on Saturday afternoon, ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. stole the show as he was utterly perplexed by franchises passing on the prospect. Sanders and third-round pick Dillon Gabriel will enter a quarterback room in Cleveland that is five-deep—and extremely expensive.

Meanwhile, Sanders was prank-called during the draft by 21-year-old Jax Ulbrich, the son of Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, one of many instances of prospects getting pranked. Additionally, on Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested that a tweet from President Donald Trump may have helped Sanders finally get picked.
