James Conner has yet to play in an NFL game, but he's already among the league's most popular players when it comes to jersey sales.
Conner, the former Pitt running back who was selected by the Steelers in the third round of the draft in April, has the best-selling jersey among rookies and the third-most popular jersey among all NFL players, according to Dick's Sporting Goods jersey report. Only Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott have had more popular jerseys this season.
Rookie first-round pick T.J. Watt has the fifth-best selling jersey of all rookies and is 32nd among all NFL players. Overall, the Steelers are the No. 2 best-selling team jersey in the league behind the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots.
Other Steelers with top-selling jerseys are Antonio Brown (No. 9) and Le'Veon Bell (No. 19).
Will Bell's jersey will continue to sell as well in what could be his final year with the Steelers? Bell and the Steelers could not come to terms on a long-term contract Monday, and he is playing the 2017 season on a one-year contract.
