Sports Business Daily is out with its list of the most marketable players in the NFL and one thing is perfectly clear from a quick look at the list: quarterback is still the glamor position of the NFL. Four out of the top five members of the list, and six out of the top ten, are QBs led by Peyton Manning in an overwhelming vote. Manning received nearly 52% of the first place votes to Tom Brady's 34%. The third place finisher and only non-Qb in the top five is rookie running back Reggie Bush.

NFL's Bush, Top Rookie Endorser, Scores $5 Million in Contracts
By Curtis Eichelberger Sept. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Good looks, a Heisman Trophy and an attention-grabbing running style have combined to bring New Orleans Saints rookie Reggie Bush a record $5 million in endorsements from PepsiCo Inc., General Motors Corp., Adidas AG and Subway Restaurants. If he is as successful on the field as he has been with advertisers, Bush's outside income may soon rival that of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, the National Football League endorsements leader with more than $10 million a year. ``He's the best rookie endorser ever, No. 1 in history,'' said Scott Becher, 43, president of Sports & Sponsorships, a consulting firm in Coral Gables, Florida. ``From an off-the-field standpoint, it's been pretty incredible. And I think it's going to get even better.'' http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...9Jg&refer=home |
