Rule 1 of being an NFL fan: don’t buy your team’s newest rookie’s jersey, before they actually get on the team. It’s a horrible tactic no matter how excited you are for the NFL Draft. And it could to bite you in the butt.
This is why you don’t buy a new jersey BEFORE the NFL Draft
Jets fans got soooooooo giddy, this basically writes itself.

Philly Radio host Angelo Cataldi even went as far as to get a Marcus Mariota jersey at Wing Bowl. He’s a professional. And he’s still making bad fan moves.
