It hasn’t taken Ezekiel Elliott long to build an impressive following down in Big D.
Elliott, whom the Dallas Cowboys drafted fourth overall in April, has sold more jerseys over the past three months than any other NFL player.
Per ESPN’s Darren Rovell, who cited sales from the league’s official online store, the former Ohio State running back beat out a who’s-who of NFL superstars for the top spot. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady ranked second, followed by New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., Carolina Panthers quarterback and reigning NFL MVP Cam Newton, and Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.
Elliott was the first running back drafted in the top five since Trent Richardson in 2012, and with the Cowboys boasting one of the league’s top offensive lines, he’s a popular pick for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
