Even though he may not have played in a regular-season game with his new team yet, fans appear to be flocking to buy Marshawn Lynch’s jersey.

Lynch is set to wear the historic No. 24 — previously worn by Charles Woodson — for his hometown team, and appears to be pretty excited about it.

Raiders fans have clearly made their presence felt, as Lynch already sitting atop that list is certainly surprising.
