Pretty sure he wasn't the first former player to own a team, just the latest.

And boooooo for the clickbait.

Unless you count George Halas, who was owner/coach/player for the Decatur Staley, which later went on to become the Chicago Bears, Richardson is the only former player to own an NFL franchise.

Does Jerry Richardson get in at some point?

Super Bowl winner and first former player to own a team; first owner to draw a pie chart on live TV; catatonically took in Panther games from his suite...

Hahah hahahahahha hahahahhahahah hahahhahahahaha If Jerry Richardson makes the hall of fame they need to knock it down the following day.

Halas would have been first though.

Technically he played for a team before there was an NFL, and after his playing days he was the owner of an NFL franchise. And, having been to the HOF, I can tell you the NFL claims a lot of football history to be their own long before there was an NFL.

His wiki page says that the NFL officially got its name in 1922, and Halas played several years for his Bears team after the 1922 season before retiring.

      Sellers is absolutely one to keep an eye on. Could be the next Cam or could be the next Anthony Richardson. Curious to see how he has progressed come this fall.

      I think Texas could go 0-12 and he would still go #1 based on his name and traits like you say.  But nusselman and sellers may be actually better qbs.    Man if bryce stinks it up this season its looking like a damn good year to swap out qbs.  Sellers highlights are just fuging jaw dropping

      I mean, the kid comes from a wealthy family. It's not like he needs the money. He has a ton of potential now we get to see what he can do as a starter. Everyone penciling him in as the #1 overall pick is putting the cart way before the horse. It's 5% because of his talent and what he's showing on the field and 95% because his last name is Manning. And if he is what he's hyped to be the Texas coaching staff needs to be answering some tough questions about why the kid wasn't on the field sooner. Ewers was a good college QB but he's definitely not a "keep a future #1 overall pick waiting" type of college QB. Only getting one season out of a top NFL talent because you chose to keep him buried behind a borderline NFL talent is just coaching negligence. Not starting him as a true freshman? Yeah, I get that. But on year two if the kids is what he's hyped to be you gotta wish Ewers well elsewhere and turn the page.
