These are the 5 Most Popular NFL Jerseys in 2012 (by number sold) from April through the end of pre-season.

Starting from #5…

5. Eli Manning – New York Giants, No. 10

After some controversy in the 2011 Preseason when Eli Manning stated stated that he was an indeed among the ‘Elite Quarterbacks,’ he backed it up in the regular season having the most 4th quarter touchdown passes in a season, and a decisive Superbowl victory over Brady and the Patriots. Eli Manning has left no doubt that he is among the best in the game.

4. Andrew Luck – Indianapolis Colts, No. 12

Called “the surest quarterback prospect in more than a decade,” Andrew Luck is a silent master known for his rock solid throws, and thoughtful approach to the game. He’s not a flashy guy, but expect that he’ll be winning games behind that cool exterior.

3. Tim Tebow – New York Jets, No. 15

More than just the ‘Tebowing” he’s known for, playing QB at 250 pounds he’s been called ‘the strongest human being that’s ever played that position’ according to former Bucs coach Jon Gruden. Tim Tebow might even be giving Sanchez a run for his money this year. (Or he’ll just be the highest-grossing-jersey-selling-bench-riding-backup-quarterback-ever).

2. Robert Griffin III (RGIII) – Washington Redskins, No. 10

The 2011 Heisman Trophy winner who could have been a 2012 Olympic hurdler is the Redskins best hope for QB in a long time. The Washington Redskins sacrificed a lot to get RGIII, and he’ll be the first player in the history of the NFL to have a Roman numeral on his jersey. If you’re a Redskins fan go ahead and get the jersey now, we think you’ll be wearing it a lot over the next few years.

1. Peyton Manning – Denver Broncos, No. 18

What is there to say about an 11-time Pro Bowler who just signed a $96 Million 5-yr contract with the Broncos? Peyton Manning is a legend. Though the number #18 was retired in honor of Frank Tripucka, he’s been given permission by the man himself to wear it. Be a part of the comeback.
