Marshawn Lynch had top-selling NFL jersey this spring

Fans in the Bay Area have been buying in - literally - to the idea of Marshawn Lynch beasting in Oakland Raiders colors.

The unretired running back had the top-selling NFL jersey in May, according to data released by NFLShop.com.

Lynch wasn't just the top-selling jersey in California - he dominated the entire western part of the country and some of the Midwest, including several states that have their own NFL team:

A few other interesting notes:

• Deshaun Watson's Clemon ties were enough for his Texans jersey to outsell every Panthers player (including Christian McCaffrey) in the Carolinas.
• James Conner beat out all Steelers and Eagles players in Pennsylvania.
• Adrian Peterson's Saints jersey sold more in Minnesota than any Vikings player.
• The idea that the Patriots are hated outside New England wasn't reflected in Tom Brady's jersey sales, which were strong in across the nation.
