Tyreek Hill Emerges as Top NFL Player from Florida on List of Popular Jerseys

Professional football in Florida is facing significant challenges, with teams like the Dolphins and Jaguars struggling in the NFL season. The Dolphins and Jaguars have a combined record of 1-5 after three weeks of play, while the Buccaneers suffered a humiliating defeat against a weak Denver team at home recently. Miami’s quarterback situation is also precarious, with the team potentially down to its third quarterback early in the season.

In terms of coaching, Jaguars’ head coach Doug Pederson is ranked second on the list of NFL coaches most likely to be fired first, trailing behind the Cowboys’ Mike McCarthy. The state of Florida’s football woes extend beyond the field, as revealed by a recent study conducted by FlashPicks, which unveiled the most sought-after NFL jerseys in the state.

Interestingly, none of the jerseys from the Buccaneers or Jaguars made the top searches list. Instead, the Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill secured a spot in the top 10 for 2024. Hill, who was voted the top player in the league by his peers, ranked fourth on the list with 16,800 searches for his jersey in Florida from the beginning of the year through August.

Surprisingly, popular quarterbacks like Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa and Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence did not make the top 10 jersey searches list. The list was led by Dallas Cowboys’ receiver CeeDee Lamb, with over 20,000 searches for his jersey. Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce, also known as Mr. Taylor Swift, claimed the third spot on the list. Additionally, former Boynton Beach standout and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson secured the tenth spot, with Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield closely following in eleventh place.

FlashPicks, a brand specializing in betting picks, parlays, predictions, and news, conducted the analysis by examining Google search volumes in each state for over 200 high-profile NFL players to determine the most popular player jerseys. This study sheds light on the fervor surrounding NFL players and their merchandise in Florida, offering insights into the state’s football fan preferences and trends.
