The list ranks all officially licensed merchandise sold from a group of over 85 NFLPA licensees (including Nike, Fathead, and Fanatics) from March 1 to November 30, 2021. The first 49ers player to make the list is tight end George Kittle, who ranks eighth overall and is the second-highest non-quarterback on the list behind Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (No.7). The second 49ers player on the list is defensive end Nick Bosa, who ranks 25th overall and is the second-highest defensive player behind Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (No. 14).
The third 49er to be included is rookie quarterback Trey Lance. Lance made the list despite only appearing in six games in 2021. Lance ranks fourth among rookie quarterbacks on the list behind Mac Jones of the Patriots (No. 5), Justin Fields of the Bears (No. 6), and Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars (No. 24). Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson also made the list at 43rd overall.
A notable 49ers absence from the list is wide receiver Deebo Samuel, but chances are his name will come up on the next list. Samuel gained a heavy amount of national exposure after the end of the March 1-November 30 sales period, as did other players on the list such as Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Keep an eye out for that when the year-end list is released in April.
