On Friday, LeBron James took a photo in his brand-new Johnny Manziel jersey:
And apparently, he's far from the only person who has purchased a Johnny Football jersey since the Cleveland Browns decided to draft him on Thursday night.
According to ESPN, NFLShop.com sold almost as many Manziel jerseys from Friday through Sunday as it did Robert Griffin III, Andrew Luck, and Tim Tebow jerseys combined during their respective draft weekends. The NFL hasn't released any official numbers as of yet. But they did report that, in just one weekend, Manziel sold more jerseys than anyone else in the entire NFL since April 1. So it's clear that, if nothing else, Manziel is going to help the Browns and the NFL sell a ton of jerseys this season.
If you're interested in picking up a Manziel jersey, go here. Because you don't want to be the only person without one, do you?
UPDATE:
Also worth noting: Michael Sam is selling a lot of jerseys right now, too. He isn't doing Manziel numbers. But according to the NFL, he's got the second-highest selling rookie jersey at the moment. Jadeveon Clowney, Teddy Bridgewater, and Blake Bortles round out the top 5 in rookie jersey sales.
