When it comes to NFL jersey sales, quarterbacks tend to lead the way. According to Lids, this was again the case in 2021 as 38 of 50 states had a QB as their top seller.
Matt Ryan has been around for 14 seasons, though, and most fans have his jersey by now. Instead, it was Falcons rookie Kyle Pitts leading the way in Georgia. The No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 draft had a 1,000-yard season and earned a trip to the Pro Bowl in year one.
While Pitts leading Georgia is understandable, the rookie also led the state of… Montana? Take a look at Lids’ graphic below to see each state’s top-selling player and team.

Pitts is an exciting player and one of true building blocks on this Falcons team. With fantasy football as popular as ever, fans across the country are becoming familiar with Atlanta’s play-making tight end. The rookie caught a touchdown in Sunday’s Pro Bowl.
