If jersey sales are any indication, Peyton Manning is in line for a drop-off season.
"The Sheriff" is now fifth in total jerseys sold, dropping four places from his perch atop the NFL for most of the year, according to figures released by the NFL Player's Association.
The top player? Peyton's longtime AFC nemesis, Tom Brady. Deflategate had no fiscal impact on his jersey sales.
Three more quarterbacks topped Manning's No 18 threads, too -- Colin Kaepernick (2), Russell Wilson (3), and Aaron Rodgers (4).
The only other Bronco in the top 50 in sales? Demaryius Thomas, who just squeaked onto the list at No. 50. Former Broncos QB Tim Tebow was 31st in total sales, by comparison.
