The Los Angeles Rams have just one player featured on the newly released NFL Players Association (NFLPA) year-end top 50 player sales list despite being one of the best teams in the NFL in 2025.
Wide receiver Puka Nacua secured the team's lone appearance, placing No. 24 overall. The ranking marks a notable surge for Nacua, who climbed 20 spots from his standing the previous year. Within his specific positional group, Nacua’s strong retail performance placed him as the league's fourth-highest-selling wide receiver, trailing only the Seattle Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the Detroit Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown, and the Dallas Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb.
There were several notable absences for Los Angeles on this list, considering how dominant the team was this past year. Reigning NFL MVP Matthew Stafford did not crack the top 50, nor did fellow star wide receiver Davante Adams or standout running back Kyren Williams, despite their significant on-field contributions during the Rams' path to the NFC championship game.
Furthermore, while the Rams recently acquired edge rusher Myles Garrett, he is absent from this specific list. The tracking data indicates a player's team is based strictly on retail activity during the evaluated timeframe, a window in which the former Defensive Player of the Year did not generate enough licensed sales to place during his time with the Cleveland Browns.
The NFLPA's annual report tracks retail sales of officially licensed player gear and utilizes data collected from more than 85 licensed partners—such as Fanatics, Nike, Outerstuff, and Funko—to reflect actual fan purchases made through both e-commerce platforms and brick-and-mortar stores.The data covers a 12-month window extending from March 2025 through February 2026. Rather than relying solely on standard jersey sales, the evaluation factors in a wide array of retail items, ranging from everyday apparel and trading cards to novelties like wall graphics, bobbleheads, and collectibles. By capturing such a diverse mix of merchandise over a full calendar year, the list offers the clearest indicator of which NFL players are driving true retail demand.
It will be interesting to see how this list shakes out in 2026 with Garrett officially on the Rams and Stafford gearing up for another big year.
