Golfers and Basketball Players get so many endorsement deals though to market their products in comparison to football players though. There are way more Lebron James, Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade ads out there then most NFL players right now (Peyton may be the lone exception). It seems like bball players are in commercials for everything when you turn on the tv, plus the basketball shoes etc. Basketball shoe endorsement deals are through the roof compared to football wear as well. Alot of the top 10 guys are basketball players/golfers because of there endorsement deals.
