The Justin Fields pick seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train.
Why is he so popular? Well, he can do cool stuff like this:
And because Fields can make excellent throws and dazzle audiences with stellar runs, it should come as no surprise that his jersey sales are through the roof:

Jeez! It’s almost as if this city was starving for a quarterback to wrap its arms around.
Fields was already a huge part in Fanatics having the biggest Draft night in its history. His jersey was the No. 2 best-seller behind Trevor Lawrence that evening. Nearly a month later, only a pair of Tim Tebow jerseys are keeping Fields from taking the top spot.
Active quarterbacks take up 11 of the top 15 spots. And a former quarterback (Tebow) takes up two others. Philly fans must love receiver DeVonta Smith. Same with Steelers fans and running back Najee Harris. Or maybe Alabama fans are scooping up gear to support their players. In any case, those are the only non-QBs (save for Tebow) on the list. But who cares about them, it’s all about Justin Fields, baby!
Fields having three jerseys selling in the top-5 says everything you need to know about quarterback popularity and how much these fans love getting on the bandwagon to back the new guy.
