James Conner may not be the Steelers' starting running back this season, but he’s already a team leader in one category.
The rookie from Pitt now has the NFL’s second-best-selling jersey, according to Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Conner is ahead of such players as New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, 2016 Rookie of the Year Dak Prescott and Marshawn Lynch, with the Oakland Raiders.
Previously in the No. 1 slot was a familiar nemesis: five-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady.
