The Ravens and 法案s 行う/開催する/段階d an かつてない classic on Sunday Night Football. Micah Parsons 勝利d in his Packers debut. Aaron Rodgers and Pete Carroll won their first games in new places. And somehow the three-time defending AFC 支持する/優勝者 長,指導者s are alone in last place.

While Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson gave us plenty to 審議 about the 肩書を与える of the league's best player, cllct wants to know who the most collectible players in the game are 権利 now.
So, we looked at the last year of card sales and (機の)カム up with a 決まり文句/製法 to 率 the 50 most important players to the hobby.

1. Jayden Daniels, Washington 指揮官s QB: 2
No, Daniels isn’t the best quarterback in football. But for many, collecting is as much about 可能性のある as it is about reality, and Daniels is packed with the former.

Daniels has been by far the best-selling NFL player over the last 365 days, with more than 200,000 total sales logged by Market Movers. The second-most over that time period is Bo 拒む,否認する, with more than 109,000.
The 指揮官s quarterback has been the most submitted football player over the last year, too, with grading tracker GemRate logging more than 230,000 graded cards for Daniels across the major authenticators. Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has been the second-most graded over that time period with a little more than 117,000 cards.

To date, the highest 記録,記録的な/記録するd sale for Daniels is the $500,000 paid in a 私的な 処理/取引 for his 2024 Panini Prizm 黒人/ボイコット Finite 1/1 in July, によれば Card Ladder’s database.
2. Bo 拒む,否認する, Denver Broncos QB: 5
The 12th 全体にわたる 選ぶ and sixth quarterback taken in the 2024 NFL 草案, 拒む,否認する entered his 新人 season with a little いっそう少なく collectible 利益/興味 than his peers.
His 早期に results were 否定できない ― he passed for 3,775 yards, 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions ― and the hobby quickly adjusted course.
拒む,否認する has the second-most sales 跡をつけるd by Market Movers over the last year and the third-most graded cards, which 追加するs up to a second-place finish here.

The high-end market has 配達するd for 拒む,否認する 同様に, with his 現在の 記録,記録的な/記録する the $97,600 paid for his 2024 Panini Prizm 黒人/ボイコット Finite 1/1 at Goldin in May.
によれば Card Ladder, 拒む,否認する has already had four sales 最高の,を越す $50,000 and more than 30 (太陽,月の)食/失墜 $10,000 or more.
T3. C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans QB: 8
Much like Daniels, an 爆発性の 新人 season carried Stroud’s market for months, while several peers from his 草案 class faded from the hobby スポットライト.
C.J. Stroud's 新人 season made him a favorite of collectors.
Stroud’s sophomore season was strong, but the Texans didn’t take the necessary leap in the postseason to keep collectors buzzing at the same intensity. Still, he has remained one of the most popular players in the market with the second-most graded cards and sixth-most sales over the last year.

Stroud’s 記録,記録的な/記録する public sale to date is the $72,000 paid for his 2023 絶対の Green Kaboom at Sotheby’s in September 2024.
T3. Drake Maye, New England 愛国者s QB: 8
Of the players at the 最高の,を越す of this 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる), Maye is likely the most 思索的な, with collectors hoping New England 完全にするs a successful 再構築する に引き続いて the 出発s of Tom Brady and 法案 Belichick.
So far, the results aren’t 広大な/多数の/重要な.
Maye’s 15 TD passes and 10 interceptions as a 新人 weren’t 特に impressive, and New England’s 3-9 記録,記録的な/記録する in his 12 starts isn’t 奮起させるing. Hobbyists often overlook poor play for 可能性のある 星/主役にするs at 首相 positions on popular teams, however, and Maye is a (疑いを)晴らす fit on that 前線.

Maye has been the third best-selling football player 跡をつけるd by Market Movers over the last year and the fifth-most graded, によれば GemRate. Another mediocre season in New England could quickly 転換 collector 感情, but for now he has plenty of 可能性のある, and that’s all that really 事柄s.
T3. Caleb Williams, Chicago 耐えるs QB: 8
The No. 1 全体にわたる 選ぶ in 2024, Williams 個々に had a respectable 新人 season, though those results didn’t translate into 勝利,勝つs for the Chicago 耐えるs.
Fans and collectors alike are hoping new 長,率いる coach Ben Johnson can 活力を回復させる Chicago’s 罪/違反 ... and with it transform Williams into a hobby darling.

With more than 94,000 sales over the last year, Williams 階級s fourth, and his more than 93,000 graded cards over that same period shows he’s more than 有能な of sitting 近づく the 最高の,を越す of these 最高位のs in the foreseeable 未来.

/div>
A messy 新人 season is forgivable for collectors, but like Maye, Williams will need to start 配達するing quickly to remain in this tier ― though it’s 価値(がある) 公式文書,認めるing a 大部分は underwhelming 後継の quarterback class could always buy this group 付加 time.
6. J.J. McCarthy, Minnesota Vikings QB: 11
McCarthy is かもしれない the most intriguing player 頂上に this 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる), mostly because collectors really aren’t sure what they are getting.
A torn meniscus ended McCarthy’s 新人 season before it started, and now he’s 始める,決める to take over a team that finished the 正規の/正選手 season 14-3. He will take his first NFL snaps Monday night against Chicago.

For collectors, there’s even いっそう少なく (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) to work with than normal, but the pieces around McCarthy are encouraging, most 顕著に Justin Jefferson.
Still, it’s surprising to see McCarthy land here. Market Movers has logged more than 88,000 sales for the Vikings QB over the last year ― that’s nearly twice as many as Joe Burrow ― and there have been more than 76,000 of his cards graded over that same period.
Hobbyists love buying low, and a lost 新人 season 供給するd plenty of 適切な時期s to 行き詰まり,妨げる McCarthy when most collectors were 焦点(を合わせる)d on Jayden Daniels and CJ Stroud.
7. Michael Penix Jr., Atlanta Falcons QB: 15
Like McCarthy, Penix Jr. had a bit of an 半端物 新人 season.

The Falcons stunned the entire football community when they selected the former Washington quarterback with the eighth 全体にわたる 選ぶ after 調印 Kirk Cousins to a 大規模な 取引,協定 in 解放する/自由な 機関, and the 限られた/立憲的な snaps Penix Jr. did see last year weren’t exceptional.
Though Penix Jr. didn’t dazzle, plenty of 専門家s believe the tape was better than the results.
Falcons fans have recently felt the team was just a quarterback short of 存在 a 合法的 競争相手 in the NFC, and Penix Jr. could be that with a (n)艦隊/(a)素早い of 武器s, 含むing Drake London and Bijan Robinson, ready to make plays.
にもかかわらず an 極端に late start, Penix Jr. has become a rising hobby favorite, with more than 73,000 sales logged by Market Movers over the last year, and a 記録,記録的な/記録する public sale of $52,100 isn’t something to scoff at.

8. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City 長,指導者s QB: 17
Collecting is ひどく 影響(力)d by rookies and their 可能性のある, but there’s 簡単に no 否定するing Patrick Mahomes.
Some collectors will 見解(をとる) Mahomes as いっそう少なく exciting because they know what they are getting, but others prefer the safety of buying into a player with three 最高の Bowl (犯罪の)一味s and two 最高殊勲選手s. And it’s hard to 非難する them.
Mahomes’ market can be a bit of an outlier comparatively because his cards are, on 普通の/平均(する), much more expensive than his peers here ― and that’s not counting his 2017 国家の Treasures Platinum 保護物,者 RPA 1/1, which 持つ/拘留するs the 記録,記録的な/記録する for the most 価値のある football card at $4.3 million.

Market Movers has logged more than 47,000 sales for Mahomes over the last year, while GemRate has 跡をつけるd more than 76,000 graded cards over that same period.
9. Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders TE: 19
It’s no secret football collecting is 支配するd by quarterbacks.
Brock Bowers 階級s as the only tight end in the 最高の,を越す 35 位置/汚点/見つけ出すs.
Yes, plenty of running 支援するs and 星/主役にする receivers 伸び(る) 重要な に引き続いてs, but it really takes an exceptional player to 打ち勝つ 伝統的な 感情.
Enter Brock Bowers, who 配達するd a 記録,記録的な/記録する-setting 新人 season that featured new highs for 歓迎会s by a 新人 tight end, receiving yards by a 新人 tight end and 結局 歓迎会s by a 新人 from any position.

Tight ends typically don’t resonate with collectors, but Bowers has broken that 傾向 with more than 58,000 sales logged by Market Movers over the last year and more than 47,000 graded cards 跡をつけるd by GemRate.
10. Malik Nabers, New York 巨大(な)s WR: 23
Just the second 非,不,無-QB on this 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる), Nabers has been surprisingly popular through his first season. Part of the 推論する/理由ing is that he was やめる good as a 新人 ― 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns are 本気で impressive numbers.
The main 推論する/理由, however, could be the combination of an エリート talent on a popular team in a big market.
New York’s quarterback 状況/情勢 is still a mess, but it’s not hard to see the 権利 signal-報知係 turning Nabers into one of the next ultra-エリート receivers.

利益/興味 will certainly regress as he becomes その上の 除去するd from his 新人 season, but 現在の 星/主役にするs such as Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase are examples of 非,不,無-QBs who have 持続するd hobby relevance. There’s more or いっそう少なく a 天井 for 非,不,無-QBs の中で collectors, but it’s still やめる high for the best of the best.
Market Movers has 跡をつけるd more than 47,000 sales for Nabers over the last 365 days, the 10th-most of any football player, and more than 36,000 graded cards over that time period.
