The Oklahoma Sooners have had some popular players at the NFL level over the years. Adrian Peterson could be considered one of the greatest running backs of all-time and maintained popularity even as he bounced around the league in the latter stages of his career.
One way to measure a player’s popularity at the NFL level is to look at merchandise sales. From March 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022, four Oklahoma Sooners had some of the highest merchandise sales in the league. CeeDee Lamb, Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, and Jalen Hurts were among the top 50 players in the NFL in merchandise sales according to the NFLPA.
Headlining the top 50 was Tom Brady, arguably the greatest quarterback of all-time. Coming in at No. 2 was Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills was No. 3, followed by Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals at No. 4 and rookie quarterback Mac Jones of the New England Patriots came in at No. 5.
Let’s take a look at the Oklahoma Sooners and where they landed on the list.

When I won the USA TODAY Sports NCAA tournament challenge, the jersey I picked as my prize, CeeDee Lamb’s Dallas Cowboys jersey.
Lamb was No. 1 among wide receivers and third among non-quarterbacks behind tight end George Kittle and edge rusher T.J. Watt, the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2021.
