Patriots QB Tom Brady, who was No. 1 in Q1, which ended May 31, fell to No. 2 this quarter. Rounding out the top five are Broncos QB Peyton Manning at No. 3, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers at No. 4 and Texans DE J.J. Watt at No. 5. The list is based on overall sales of all product as reported by 80 NFLPA licensees, including Fanatics, Nike, VF Imagewear, Outerstuff, and Fathead, among others (Liz Mullen, Staff Writer).

FULL NELSON: In Green Bay, Richard Ryman noted Packers WR Jordy Nelson being on injured reserve this season "has not affected his ongoing endorsement deals." X-A-M Sports co-Founder Shawn Smith, who reps Packers CB Casey Hayward, but not Nelson, said, "It helps if you are on the field making plays, no doubt about it. But even when [Nelson is] not there, they are still talking about him." Ryman noted Nelson's actions as he recovers "reinforce the qualities that make him attractive" two of his sponsors -- Associated Bank and Bellin Health. Nelson "has a two-year agreement" with Bellin Health, while he and three other Packers receivers have deals with Associated Bank (GREEN BAY PRESS-GAZETTE, 10/25).
