Adam Schefter of ESPN tweeted out the following list of the top 10 players in terms of sales, as reported by the NFLPA. Garoppolo, who is out for the season after suffering a torn ACL during a Week 3 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs, ranks at No. 7 and is the fifth-highest ranked quarterback on the list.
Of course, the majority of those sales likely occurred before the injury. While the third-quarter report may not have Garoppolo on it, the latest figures are a good indication of what fan expectations were for the 49ers quarterback.
Garoppolo completed 53-of-89 pass attempts for 718 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions before his injury. He underwent knee surgery on October 3 to repair the ACL tear. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has expressed hope that Garoppolo can begin throwing by OTA's next June.
"I know you guys will probably hold me to it, but I'm hoping that he will be able to get into OTAs and do some non-contact stuff with throwing the ball and everything," Shanahan told reporters the Friday after the surgery.
Schefter said earlier this month that Garoppolo is expected to be ready for training camp next year.
