According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Chargers running-back LaDainian Tomlinson will get his first starring role in a Nike commercial this summer. Tomlinson has been filming the commercial with teammates Antonio Gates, Shawne Merriman, and Philip Rivers lately. The commercial is being directed by famous filmmaker Michael Mann. The commercial is set to hit the air this August.
This is great for the city of San Diego, the Chargers, and for Tomlinson. A symbol of everything that is right about the NFL in a time when the league is making headlines for all the wrong reasons, players like Tomlinson should be at the forefront of the NFL’s marketing plan. LaDainian Tomlinson is a a workhorse, an amazing talent, and a great man. Keep a look out for his commercial.
