Caleb Williams already broke Caitlin Clark’s draft night jersey sales record

Even Caitlin Clark’s records are meant to be broken

After nabbing just about every record imaginable, Caitlin Clark has finally been dethroned — at least as far as jersey sales are concerned.

With Caleb Williams going No. 1 overall to the Chicago Bears on Thursday night, Fanatics announced his new merch, which is only available for pre-sale, toppled Clark’s record for the most merchandise sold on draft night of any player in any sport.

Granted, the NFL has a much larger audience than the WNBA (for now), and Chicago is a much bigger market than Indianapolis, but it’s stunning nonetheless and goes to show how quickly Bears fans are ready to move on from the Justin Fields era.

Much like Clark’s selection by the Fever last week, Williams going No. 1 overall has been a foregone conclusion for months now. All the hype literally paid off last night as fans couldn’t wait to purchase his now-sold out gear.

According to Fanatics,  Williams merch is still available for pre-order, but don’t expect to receive it anytime soon:

Pre-Orders containing this item will be shipped separately 4-6 weeks after the player’s number is officially confirmed. Confirmation will take place no later than the start of this year’s NFL regular season. Please trust that your item will be produced and shipped as soon as possible.

Get ready to potentially see a lot of homemade Williams gear from NFL by Week 1.
