If there has been one story that has been the primary focus of the NFL this season, it’s been Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning battling through injury. After getting off to a rather slow start for his standards this season, Manning was suffering from a foot injury that would keep him out for a few weeks and turn the reins of the offense over to young Brock Osweiler.
Now, whenever a player is sidelined with injury for a significant amount of time, you wonder if their popularity might dwindle just a little bit. Of course, this means that they might see a dip in their jersey sales. But, would a player like Manning actually see a drop even if he’s not on the field?
Well, he did.
According to the DICK’S Sporting Goods Jersey Report, which reflects sales both nationwide and online, Manning has seen a drop in his jersey sales, but it was really a rather small one at just an average of two spots.
It’s a drop, but again, it’s not really all that significant of one.
Aside from the injury maybe playing a part in this, you also have to realize that we are at the tail-end of Manning’s career, which also could be a factor as well. But the fact remains that sitting on the sidelines for a few weeks did nothing to really help matters in this regard.
