With the NFL regular season now in the books, which rookies sold the most jerseys during their first season in the league.

Rookies in the NFL generally have a lot of publicity surrounding them. Although they’ve never played a down in the NFL, their notoriety from what they accomplished at the college level is enough to garner them a lot of interest among folks affiliated with the NFL and fans.

This season was regarded as one of the best rookie classes overall in quite some time, and in some respects, they definitely delivered. While everyone in the NFL loves the stars, it’s always nice to see some new blood breaking out onto the scene to make a name for themselves early.

Now from that loaded draft class of 2014, who was the most popular? Well a good way to get a gauge on this is to see who sold the most jerseys in their first NFL season. For this we luckily have the DICK’S Sporting Goods Jersey Report, which reflects sales both nationwide and online. By seeing who sold the most jerseys among the rookies in 2014, we can see who was indeed the most popular.

So, who were the top rookie jersey sellers for 2014? Let’s have a look:

10) Brandin Cooks

9) Mike Evans

8) Khalil Mack

7) Odell Beckham Jr.

6) Ryan Shazier

5) Kelvin Benjamin

4) Teddy Bridgewater

3) Blake Bortles

2) Sammy Watkins

1) Johnny Manziel

Of course, as you would expect, Johnny Manziel comes in at the No. 1 spot when all is said and done this season, although his sales did drop off quite a bit after his struggles at the end of the regular season when he finally got his shot. It will be interesting to see where he sits heading into next season.
