The NFLPA just released its 2025 Year-End Top 50 Player Sales List, and while names like Saquon Barkley, Patrick Mahomes, and Jalen Hurts dominated the top 10, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert once again made the list.
This list, which tracks officially licensed product sales from March 2024 through February 2025, covers everything from jerseys and hoodies to figurines, posters, bobbleheads, and drinkware. It’s the NFL’s most complete snapshot of who’s really moving merch, and Herbert continues to be one of them.
Chargers QB Justin Herbert Comes In At 31
According to Trends International, Herbert was among the top names for player-identified posters, putting him alongside top performers like Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons. While his jersey didn’t crack the top five in sales, Herbert’s presence shows that fans are still all-in on the Chargers’ franchise quarterback.
Justin Herbert’s appearance on the list is important for more than just his personal brand. He was the only Chargers player to make the top 50, which says a lot about both his influence and the team’s current national profile.
Los Angeles is one of the biggest sports markets in the world, but compared to teams like Detroit, Philadelphia, or Kansas City, each of whom had multiple players ranked, the Chargers are still fighting for retail traction. That’s not a direct indictment of the fanbase; it’s a sign that more can be done to spotlight the team’s stars and give fans the merch moments they’re looking for.

Herbert has the star power, the production, and now the head coach in Jim Harbaugh to build a deeper connection with fans both in L.A. and nationally.
Saquon Barkley earned his No. 1 spot with a monster season and a Super Bowl ring. Jayden Daniels rode rookie buzz and immediate impact to a top-five debut. Herbert didn’t have an exceptional year like those two, but his name still carries weight on shelves and in online carts.
That said, the next step for the Chargers is clear. Keep Justin Herbert’s momentum going, but build around it. Whether it’s Omarion Hampton, Derwin James, or Ladd McConkey, there’s room for more Chargers to join him on next year’s list.
