    "Tim Tebow had only eight full days, yet somehow he managed to top all NFL players in jersey sales for the month of April.

    Tebow didn't become an NFL player until late on April 22, when the Broncos drafted him with the No. 25 pick in the first round.

    "I think it's an honor for people to want my jersey and want to have it and want to wear it," Tebow said Wednesday afternoon. "It is somewhat surreal to have it sell more than some of these people I grew up idolizing."

    The next six top-sellers are all-star veterans: Donovan McNabb (with orders for his new Redskins No. 5 jersey), Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, new New York Jet LaDainian Tomlinson and Tony Romo.

    Two other rookies are in the top 10: Detroit defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (the second overall pick) at No. 8 and St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford (the No. 1 pick in the draft) at No. 9."
