\"\"Jerseys for Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, the Giants’ No. 2 overall pick, sold more than any other first-round pick on draft night, according to ESPN<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, more Barkley jerseys were sold on Thursday night than any player on previous draft nights, online retailer Fanatics, who manages the NFL’s official online shop, told ESPN<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speed played a part in Thursday night’s sales. Fanatics posted jerseys within minutes of a player being selected, making it possible for fans to purchase them quicker than ever before. According to Fanatics<\/a>, sales were up three times more on Thursday night than last year’s first-round.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel previously held the record for most jersey sales on draft night. Cleveland selected Manziel as the No. 22 pick in the 2014 draft, meaning Barkley jerseys went up for sale much sooner than Manziel’s.<\/strong><\/p>\n
