Raiders WR Davante Adams ranks No. 7 in jersey sales heading into season

The Las Vegas Raiders made a blockbuster trade this past offseason, netting top wide receiver Davante Adams from Green Bay. Since acquiring Adams, Raiders fans have been hyped as ever, and the numbers prove it.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Black Hole's biggest name sits at No. 7 regarding top sales across all officially licensed merchandise sold. 

Considering the Raiders play their first preseason game in a week, the ranking goes to show how loyal and dedicated Las Vegas fans are. Adams hasn't played a down for the team yet.

Raiders Nation has options when it comes to what players they could rep. Derek Carr, Josh Jacobs, Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow come to mind as incumbents. Now, the baller from Green Bay is a part of that list.

For a team that just made the playoffs, the Raiders are still at the wrong end of projections and are being laughed at when some label them as contenders. But making the move to acquire Adams was no joke. The amount of fans dawning the Silver and Black's No.  17 isn't either.
