I'm kinda surprised by how high Rivers is. He was good last year, but not great... I guess playing with LT pays off.
April- July numbers Lets see what the numbers are in the next article. Also, I noticed that its REEBOK as a source, so i don't see any Cowboys (arent they all Nike?)
Before anyone mentions it, it's worth noting that merchandise revenue is split equally among all 32 NFL teams regardless of how much you actually sell. So, drafting Bush or Young would've made absolutely zero difference on how much the Texans profit from these jersey sales.
