Harrison Butker proved that a little controversy can be good for business.
The Kansas City Chiefs kicker, who drew outrage for his inflammatory commencement address earlier this year, sold more NFL-licensed gear this spring than teammate Travis Kelce.
Butker, 29, ranked No. 11 on the NFL Players Association’s player sales list, released Tuesday, September, 17, which tracked sales of adult and youth game jerseys, T-shirts, hoodies, bobbleheads, pet products and more between March 1 and May 31.
Kelce, 34, ranked one spot below Butker at No. 12.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes came in at No. 2, behind top seller C.J. Stroud, quarterback for the Houston Texans.
