By Adam Carlson
Three members of the Minnesota Vikings are on the list of NFLPA list of Rising 50 Future Top-Selling Stars, showing potential merchandise sales.
Even though the Minnesota Vikings aren’t one of the biggest markets in the National Football League, that doesn’t mean that they can’t have several highly marketable players on their roster in the 2017 season.
In fact, the NFLPA recently released their list of Rising 50 Future Top-Selling Stars and three members of the franchise, including two new additions to the team, were featured in the top 50 players.
Here are where the players from the Minnesota Vikings and their place on the NFLPA Rising 50 list:

- #24 – Sam Bradford, QB
- #40 – Latavius Murray, RB
- #42 – Dalvin Cook, RB
Of course, Sam Bradford should be the Vikings biggest riser in terms of jersey and merchandise sales. After breaking an NFL record for completion percentage and opening up the team’s passing game, he could be in store for a huge season with Minnesota.
On the other hand, Latavius Murray is a new free agent acquisition who could see quite a few carries after the departure of Adrian Peterson.
The most interesting addition is rookie running back Dalvin Cook. In fact, his jersey was shown off at the recent NFLPA Rookie Premiere where he signed trading cards for Panini and debuted his game day jersey.
