We could all see this coming a mile away. We knew that the team that selected Johnny Manziel, would end up generating a lot of interest. Well in 25 minutes after trading up to select Johnny, the Browns saw quite a surge in season ticket sales:
Within 25 minutes of Johnny Manziel pick, #Browns had sold 200 new season ticket accounts and had 300 renewals.

Ultimately, this will be part of the reason Manziel starts week 1 in my opinion. The fans will be clamoring for him to play and they are already plunking down money to see him. Expect his jersey sales to be through the roof when they go on sale tomorrow.
