Only one Dolphin cracks top 50 in merchandise sales for 2021 league year

The Miami Dolphins’ 2021 season didn’t exactly go the way they would’ve liked. Seven straight losses followed by seven straight wins, while excited, was enough to keep them on the outside of the playoff picture looking in.

Because of the up-and-down season, the Dolphins may not have been as popular last year as in years past. For that reason, Miami had only one player appear in the top 50 for merchandise sales from the 2021 league year.

According to the NFLPA’s latest list of player sales, Tua Tagovailoa was the 39th most sold player when it came to merchandise from March 2021 through February 2022. This is a drop from the last list, where Tagovailoa finished 26th.

This time, the former Crimson Tide quarterback finished just behind Minnesota Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson and just ahead of Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor.

Tagovailoa ranked 17th among all quarterbacks, with his former collegiate teammates, Mac Jones and Jalen Hurts, both finishing ahead of him.

Looking ahead, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill pop up on this list in the near future.
