ESPN: Ezekiel Elliott jersey was NFL's best seller from April 1 to October 31

[Reality]

Rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott's jersey is No. 1 in sales from April 1 to Oct. 31, according to league officials.

Prescott moved into the top five after having a strong October, selling more jerseys than any other player in the league except Elliott.

Cowboys jerseys have been so popular that through the first six weeks, the team had already eclipsed its jersey sales from the entire 2015 season, team spokesman Rich Dalrymple told ESPN last month.

The Cowboys make more money per jersey than any other team in the league. They are the only team that distributes its own gear, and therefore, outside of sales on the official NFL online store, the team gets paid a wholesaler fee that it does not have to split with the rest of the league.

Over the past seven months, the Cowboys have had four players among the top 15 in jersey sales: Elliott, Prescott, Dez Bryant (No. 11) and Jason Witten (No. 14). Bryant and Witten finished last season at No. 9 and No. 10 on the list, respectively.

I haven't bought a jersey since I bought a T.O. jersey from the clearance rack. George Teague signed it for me. He wrote "The defender of the star" on it. He said it was the first time he had signed a T.O. jersey and made me promise not to put it on Ebay.

An advantage of having a shrewd businessman as the owner of your franchise.
