You know what, I think it was that he was doing the "championship belt" celebration before winning it.

Even if you want to do them, being outgoing and comfortable enough to be good in commercials is a big part of it, too. As evidenced by Mayfield who was good in the commercials even if they vastly outnumbered his on-field successes.

Baker ends up looking like a horse's patoot doing commercials while losing and being jettisoned from his team, but the guy does have charisma for a football player. As for Burrow, we want him to breathe, eat, crap, and have sex with FOOTBALL, so acting like he should be thinking about doing commercials and starring in a sit-com or something right now is a bit of a farce on our part.

Side note, do you think not winning the SB in 2005 hurt Palmer's long term hot dog-shilling prospects?  Who am I kidding, the star of that commercial is the ref who measures the hot dog with the miniature football chains.
