Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott has topped the NFL's online jersey sales since being selected with the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft in April, according to NFL spokesman Randall Liu.

Elliott's No. 21 jersey was purchased more on NFLShop.com between April 1 to June 30 than superstars including Patriot quarterback Tom Brady, who came in at No. 2 since April, followed by Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz, who was selected second overall, had the sixth most popular selling jersey.

Fanatics, which runs the NFL's online store, said Columbus, Ohio, where Elliott played for the Buckeyes, ranked as the city buying the most of his Cowboys jerseys outside of Dallas. The sales figures do not include those from the Cowboys' online store, which is run separately from the league's site.

Elliott signed a $24.9 million rookie contract that included $16.3 million in guaranteed money.
