I'll bet Mahommes could pick up an endorsement or two if he only played for the Jets.
Probably not the Giants though. No one's even heard of that team. The Giants simply aren't the household name that the Joe Namath Jets are.
End of discussion.
Or something.

If you watch even the tiniest bit of sports on TV you see players from most every franchise do commercials. Even Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson of the lowly Bengals had a time where he was making some good money from endorsements. There are Hulu commercials with Baker Mayfield of CLE. I will say that if you are a highly productive player in NY - whether it's for the Giants or Jets - you have an easier time getting endorsements. But you have to produce. I wouldn't say Eli Manning was a HOFer but his last name and playing in NY along with the two Super Bowl wins made him a popular player for endorsements. Now I can't really say which team is more popular in NY but the Giants have had more recent success while the Jets have floundered.
On the sincere subject of NFL endorsements, at one point NYG OBJ was the highest endorsed player in the NFL. That said, the NFL does a great job of exposing "small market guys" like Rodgers and Mahomes. If you are good and charismatic, you are gonna get paid. Being in NYC helps, whichever team you play for I'm sure.

What moron moderator started this thread and put my name on it using their made up title?
That's just bull**** by a bull**** moderator.

Only JAX is immature enough to do this. Someone needs to moderate the moderators.
