Johnny Manziel's No. 2 leads NFL jersey sales, but Michael Sam is at #6

[Auggie]

The NFL announced on Monday that more Johnny Manziel No. 2 Cleveland Browns jerseys were sold on NFLShop.com during the first quarter of the league's fiscal year than any other player's jersey.

Manziel topped Super Bowl-winning Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (No. 2), San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick (No. 3) and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (No. 4).

Only two jerseys of defensive players were in the top 10. The jerseys of Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and St. Louis Rams defensive end Michael Sam, the first openly gay man drafted, were fifth and sixth, respectively.

1. Both the Code Browns AND the Lambs are leading in something!

2. Sales for Sam's jersey might be a joke to you

But they most certainly are not to the LGBT community.

4. I understand Sam's...lots of people want to show support...but Johnny Douchebag???

Do they think it'll be a collector's item someday, like Ryan Leaf's???

6. Yeah, but with Timmeh, you can have the "collector's set" - Denver, Jits...

and another team, still to be determined.
