One Colts player among NFLPA’s midseason top 50 players merchandise sales list

The NFL released it’s midseason NFL Players Association (NFLPA) top 50 players merchandise sales list and included was one member of the Indianapolis Colts–quarterback Anthony Richardson.

This report from the NFLPA is based on sales from March 1st – August 31st, 2024 of all officially licensed NFL player merchandise, so this goes beyond just jerseys.

Richardson would come in at No. 42 on the list. At the top was Patrick Mahomes, CJ Stroud, Jalen Hurts, Caleb Williams, and Joe Burrow rounding out the top-five.

After being benched following the Colts’ Week 8 loss to Houston, Richardson has bounced back and responded in a big way these past two weeks.

In Week 11 against the New York Jets, Richardson put together his best NFL game, completing 20-of-30 passes for 272 yards with three total touchdowns and led two fourth quarter touchdown drives to complete the come from behind win.

This past Sunday versus Detroit, Richardson was just 11-for-28 passing, but that stat line doesn’t do his performance justice.

Similarly to what we saw the week before, Richardson showcased good command and decision-making and was often on time and in rhythm with his throws–all foundational elements to strong quarterback play.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t much help around Richardson with penalties negating some explosive plays, dropped passes, and struggles from the offensive line.

At 5-7 on the season, the Colts are clinging to their playoff lives, but Richardson’s play the last two weeks has provided some much-needed long-term hope for the organization.
