Marshawn Lynch jersey sales skyrocket to number one during May

Marshawn Lynch

Marshawn Lynch is back, so naturally his jersey sales are, too.

According to NFL Shop, the Oakland Raiders running back surpassed New England Patriots quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady to take the number one spot for the top selling NFL jersey for the month of May.

The top five was rounded out by Dallas Cowboys stars Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, followed by Houston Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson.

It was anticipated that Lynch's jersey sales would skyrocket after the veteran came out of retirement to break away from the Seattle Seahawks and sign a two-year deal with his hometown team.

Amid the excitement surrounding Beast Mode's return, Raiders fans helped the team get two other players in the top 15 jersey sales through purchases for quarterback Derek Carr and defensive end Khalil Mack.
