Are you going with Russell Wilson IS a national icon?  His teammate Marshawn Lynch has done a lot more commercials than Russ ever did.

When I think "national icon" I think of the Mannings, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahommes, Baker Mayfield, JJ Watt, Tony Romo, and other guys like that with multiple nationwide commercials.

according to ispot tv (which tracks commercials nationally).
RW has 153, while Beast has 36.... 
JB has 19 commercials, 
Chase has 9.

No one is attacking. just correcting your constant barrage of mistakes.

This is pretty shocking to me. I haven't followed the latest topic in this thread much, but I have never seen a Russell Wilson commercial. At least, not that I remember. I have seen plenty of Marshawn Lynch commercials, though. The fact that RW has 153 is wild.

2 things:

1. As to "attacks"; we reap what we sow

2. This thread is about National NFL Icons and IMO Russel Wilson is one. From his numerous commercials, endorsements, signature "Go Hawks!", and celebrity wife all lend itself to that. Apparently you think he is not

You probably have, RW doesn't have any distinguishing features like the Beast's dreads.
He did an Uber ad during a recent SB. He has done one for the sonic fin football (kinda like a futuristic nerf football).
that's a couple of his more recent ones.

The Game Pass ones online, but those have 15-20 players in them, so you'd likely only remember/recognize some of them.

Well it begins, players get a portion of the money for jerseys sold.

I like this for the team as the jersey sales tell me he is and the team are garnering a national presence so hopefully we can grab fans so away games do not become as unfriendly.

Eventually you would think he might be introspective enough to see he is the problem. As you said, "we reap what we sow." Obtuse is gonna obtuse.

I've seen a million RW commercials personally... RW, Rodgers and TB are pretty much everywhere.

The Stafford commercial is really a kick in the gut... Life changing *Puke*

I don't get Mac Jones at #5 at all. I guess NE area have a lot of Jones "mafia" support. I also think Joe Burrow Jersey will be #2 by next summer if the Bengals can win the Super Bowl.

Didn’t know where else to put this, but it’s one of the cooler (no pun intended) Burrow promos that I’ve seen.
