Chargers QB Justin Herbert jersey among top-15 sold

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert’s jersey has been in popular demand.

The NFL season is still months away, but NFL jersey season, however is year-round.

Now that rosters have been shaping up after a slew of acquisitions via free agency and the draft, fans are eager to support new players on their team, whether that’s veterans or rookies.

Chargers fans are especially ecstatic because of the new uniform changes, which features four new color ways.

A week before the draft, fans were able to buy jerseys of safety Derwin James, defensive end Joey Bosa and running back Austin Ekeler. But now, the jerseys of rookie quarterback Justin Herbert and linebacker Kenneth Murray are now available.

Based on sales, Herbert’s jersey has been in popular demand. The team’s first-round pick ranks No. 12 overall of the league’s highest-selling jerseys.

Rookie quarterbacks Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa and veterans Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski make up the top-10.

Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and Jerry Jeudy are the only other rookies to crack the top-20 in jersey sales.

Redskins’ Chase Young among top selling jerseys since NFL draft

Young is the best draft pick for the Redskins in years, and the fans agree, seeing as they’ve made his jersey one of top sellers in the NFL.

For the first time in a long time, the fanbase for the Washington Redskins experiences a surge of hope in the past few weeks. It came on the night of April 23rd, when the Redskins used their No. 2 overall pick to draft Ohio State DE Chase Young — undoubtedly the best player in the draft.

Now it seems that those fans are looking to capture that feeling and give themselves a physical reminder of the joy by purchasing Young’s jersey, as it has popped up as one of the top-selling jersey’s in the NFL, according to NFL Shop jersey sales, tracked by Fanatics. Young’s jersey is on the list of top sellers on the site, though it is inexplicably a No. 1 Chase Young jersey, rather than the No. 99 that he plans to wear.

Regardless, it appears that Redskins fans are thrilled about the pick, and they’re waiting to welcome Chase to the #HTTR family with open arms once the season gets rolling.

Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb jersey outselling every other non-QB rookie

Dallas’s first-round pick trails only Tua Tagovailoa, Tom Brady, Joe Burrow, Rob Gronkowski, and Justin Herbert in jersey sales.

All those who thought Jerry Jones didn’t know what he was doing by wanting CeeDee Lamb to wear No. 88 can apparently rest easy now. The jersey is selling quite well, despite the fact that the Oklahoma rookie hasn’t even officially worn it yet.

According to official sales figures, the navy blue version of Lamb’s 88 is the 14th-best selling jersey in the league at the moment, the highest placement of any 2020 rookie who doesn’t play quarterback, and better than any current non-quarterback not named Rob Gronkowski.

Dolphins rookie Tua Tagovailoa tops the list, with his aqua No. 1 at No. 1 on the sales chart; his white jersey sits in second place. Different-colored iterations of Tom Brady’s Buccaneers jersey rank third through sixth. Gronkowski’s new pewter and red Tampa Bay jerseys fall seventh and ninth, respectively, with Joe Burrow’s black No. 9 in between at eighth. Another Brady jersey sits in tenth place, Burrow’s orange Cincinnati jersey is 11th, Justin Herbert’s powder blue No. 10 is 12th, and a women’s version of Brady’s jersey fill out the slots above Lamb.

Denver’s Jerry Jeudy is the only other rookie to appear in the top 20.

Fans have evidently flocked to the newest incarnation of one of the most storied jersey numbers in Cowboys history. Drew Pearson, Michael Irvin, and Dez Bryant all wore No. 88 for the club previously.

Team owner Jerry Jones made it clear shortly after drafting Lamb that he hoped the team’s first-round pick would wear the famed number, partly as an homage to the Dallas legends who wore it previously.  A recently-departed college teammate of Jones named Jerry Lamb had also worn No. 88 while the two attended Arkansas.

Lamb, who wore No. 2 as well as No. 9 while playing for the Sooners, had originally said on Dallas radio that he would wear No. 10 with the Cowboys.
