For the first time in a long time, the Buffalo Bills are perceived as one of the favorites to hoist the Lombardi Trophy come season's end.
With "Bills Mafia" buzzing with excitement ahead of the 2022 season, they're hoping star quarterback Josh Allen can take them to the promised land. And when it comes to supporting the fifth-year QB, they're putting their money where their mouth is.
According to Fanatics, Allen has had the highest overall jersey sales since the start of training camp.
The @NFL is back!! So cool to see the top selling jerseys at @Fanatics broken out by state. @DangeRussWilson leads with 7 states, but @JoshAllenQB has the highest overall jersey sales since the start of training camp, and no surprise that the @TomBrady sits in the Top 5. pic.twitter.com/wM5Ek9R1ke

The 25-year-old is entering his fifth NFL season, fresh off leading the Bills to an 11-6 finish in 2021. Allen completed 63.3 percent of his passes a season ago, posting 409 completions for 4,407 yards with 36 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
Several rising young quarterbacks joined Allen among the top five players in jersey sales.
After leading the Cincinnati Bengals to Super Bowl LVI last season, Cincinnati Bengals' quarterback Joe Burrow heads into the 2022 season with the second-best selling jersey in the league behind Allen. Meanwhile, New England Patriots second-year quarterback Mac Jones was fifth on the list.
Unsurprisingly, Denver Broncos' Russell Wilson and Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Tom Brady also made the top five.
Wilson's jersey is the leading seller in seven states and fourth overall, just ahead of Jones. Brady's jersey is third, finishing just behind Burrow and Allen.
