Russell Wilson has surpassed Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady for the NFL’s top-selling jersey following his trade from the Seattle Seahawks to the Denver Broncos, a Fanatics representative told TMZ Sports.
Wilson jersey sales “skyrocketed” to take over the No. 1 spot, a notable accomplishment considering Brady jersey sales were on the rise following his announcement he would return for a 23rd season.
Wilson was introduced in Denver on Wednesday and told reporters, “It’s an honor, it’s a gift” to play for the Broncos.
