Tim TebowEven before he plays an official down on an NFL field, Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Tim Tebow has scored on one front that matters: jersey sales.

Tebow, the former Heisman Trophy winner at Florida, has seen more of his jerseys sold than any other player at NFLShop.com during the period from April 1 to June 30, according to Darren Rovell of CNBC.

Tebow, the 25th overall choice in April's NFL Draft, is ahead of Donovan McNabb, the former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback who was dealt to the Washington Redskins in the offseason, and New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, the reigning Super Bowl MVP.

Indianapolis' Peyton Manning, Dallas' Tony Romo and Brett Favre, who played for Minnesota last year, are fourth, fifth and sixth in order of sales, respectively.
