Rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is the new No. 88 in Dallas, with the Cowboys selecting the Oklahoma standout with the 17th overall pick in last month's 2020 NFL Draft. Before he even steps on a football field in his first professional game, though, the 21-year-old is having a very well-selling jersey.
According to NFL Shop, via Cowboys Wire, Lamb has his navy blue No. 88 jersey has the 14th-best seller on the league's official shop's top jersey sales—with established stars like new Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran quarterback Tom Brady (with six versions) and his reunited tight-end teammate Rob Gronkowski (two jersey versions) ahead of the rookie Cowboys wideout.
In terms of solely football players, the list goes Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Brady, Gronkowski, Cincinnati Bengals rookie gunslinger, and No. 1 selection Joe Burrow, Los Angeles Chargers rookie signal-caller Justin Herbert, then Lamb. Fellow rookie receivers Jerry Jeudy of the Denver Broncos and Henry Ruggs III of the Las Vegas Raiders and No. 2 pick of the Washington Redskins edge rusher Chase Young are behind Lamb.
Lamb, a 6-foot-2, 189-pound wideout, totaled 1,327 receiving yards on 62 catches for 14 touchdowns in 13 games during his junior and, ultimately, last season with the Oklahoma Sooners. Lamb was a consensus All-American in 2019 and led the Big 12 in receiving touchdowns and receiving yards per reception.
The last time the Cowboys selected a wide receiver with the first-round pick was Bryant, another No. 88, out of Oklahoma State in 2010 with the 24th overall selection.
