Midway through the 2022 calendar year, Russell Wilson is atop the league in jersey sales.
According to NFL Shop, Wilson is beating out Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Raiders receiver Davante Adams, Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett and Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, who round out the top five.

In addition to this, Wilson's superstardom can be seen in his trip overseas to the French Riviera and the United Kingdom.
Wilson first visited the south of France as part of the Cannes Lions festival alongside Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan, Cardinals tackle Kelvin Beachum Jr., NFL Media personality Kimmi Chex and NFL Chief Marketing Officer Tim Ellis.

Then he visited Monaco, where he trained at AS Monaco's facilities.

And then most recently, Wilson went to London for a meet-and-greet. Wilson and the Broncos, of course, will be returning to London in October to take on the Jaguars in the franchise's first game in the UK since 2010.

As we continue to remember Marlin Briscoe, Andscape's William C. Rhoden wrote a terrific tribute to the legendary pioneer.
"It's difficult to know how — or even if — you'll be remembered," Rhoden wrote. "But during one of our last conversations, Briscoe indicated that he understood the importance of opening a door more than five decades ago during a five-game stretch when he gave the league a glimpse of the future."

"[N]o Denver pass-catcher has been more dependable in the last couple of years than Patrick," Nick Shook wrote.
"Every time they get the ball … they're punishing you and they're doing it with a smile," Will Selva said.
Briscoe, who died at the age of 76, was best known as the first Black starting quarterback in the AFL and as a two-time Super Bowl champion.
Like most Denver residents, Broncos players were thrilled to see the Avs take home the Cup.
Could Jeudy fill a role similar to the one Doug Baldwin had in Seattle?
"Bring that cup back to where it belongs!!" Garett Bolles tweeted.
"That was somebody I always followed coming up," Hinton told The Athletic's Nick Kosmider. "So this is pretty unreal."
"Denver has the potential to make a worst-to-first leap in the AFC West standings," Bucky Brooks wrote.
"In Denver, the sky is the limit for Wilson," ESPN's Eric Moody wrote.
The two were apparently recording segments for the upcoming season of "Peyton's Places" on ESPN+.
In an interview with The Coloradoan, the Pro Football Hall of Famer described how Wilson's leadership may be just as important as his skill.
