EJ Manuel jersey 3rd biggest seller among Rookies

[imbondz]

Kind of surprised about that. If there's already a thread just delete this I didn't see one

Among just drafted rookies, Manti Te'o's No. 50 San Diego Chargers jersey was the most popular. Tavon Austin, EJ Manuel, Cordarrelle Patterson and Eddie Lacy rounded out the top 5. Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith did not crack the top 5, perhaps suggesting that fans aren't ready to put their Mark Sanchez jerseys in the closet just yet.


Retiring didn't seem to hurt the jersey sales of two high-profile linebackers. Ray Lewis finished eighth in jersey sales over the last three months and Brian Urlacher took the 10th spot.


Despite losing the Super Bowl, the 49ers are leading the offseason in jersey sales, followed by the Seahawks, the only team whose jersey was completely changed last season with the league's new Nike deal. Rounding out the top five were the Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots.

It would be cool if they showed a chart of the areas the jersey was bought to see how much of it is nation-wide vs home city support.

I thought that same thing. Could the city of Buffalo/Rochester area be enough sales to make him #3? We also don't know sales total. Might not be that much

Rookie QB's taken in the 1st round generally represent a big move for the team drafting them and for the fans that support the franchise.


Sink or swim, EJ Manuel is the future of the Buffalo Bills...

EJ, at best reminds, me of a Donavan McNabb. Hopefully, he can get to that level.

Who does he remind you of?

Loved Steve McNair. He was a tough QB, haven't seen enough of EJ yet to know what kind of QB he is

This may be somewhat of a topical comparison, and I'm not the one who said it first, but Ben Roethlisberger.

Both are big strong guys who are mobile in the pocket and tough to bring down.

Re: EJ Manuel jersey 3rd biggest seller among Rookies

I actually thought Ben too, but he's proven his toughness. We'll see about EJ.
