SuperBills12 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 If Willis has an extraordinary year (top 5 rusher, yards, TDs) I bet Nike and Gatorade would be pounding down his door. Actually I'm surprised i'm not seeing him in advertisements already....He's got the perfect inspirational story to tell, and he's an awesome athlete. Buffalo really needs WM to be an endorsement guy out there to draw interest in the team...Even in the glory years, I only remember Thurman Thomas having a Reebok crosstrainer shoe commercial (I bought that shoe)...I think it's time for Buffalo to get some air time Concept: How awesome would it be to see WM ripping a long run at the Ralph against the Patriots...and then see "Just Do It" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I'm hoping Willis gets to do some sort of ad...or any Bill to be completely honest. The glory year-Bills had some commercials. I believe they had a Snickers one or something. With Marv at a chalk board saying "We won't leave this room until we find out how to win the Super Bowl." Then it showed Kelly, Bruce, Thurman and others all sighing in a room. Then the announcer came in with "Not going anywhere in a while..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I don't think I could keep a straight face if Willis says "I do everything in my BVDs!" to counter MJ's Hanes ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really has not done much of anything. Amazing how they just throw money at certain athletes. Serves them right that the whole Ron Mexico story surfaced. HAHA!!! I bet no one wants to take a ride on the old Mike Vick experience now. His little brother laughs at him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Willis needs to be less lazy in his speech before people will start beating down his door. The kid is intelligent, he just has that "it's all good" attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 He'd need to be the NFL leading rusher this year to start getting endorsements, and even then he should ignore them, pay attention to his goals and keep trying to succeed. Do that and the rest will fall into line. Also, having heard McGahee speak, he may want to avoid commercials right now or he'll end up like Rocky Balboa dressed in a caveman's outfit trying to sell aftershave.

It was funny in a way and he was supposed to fly the Monday morning after the game to make the commercial, but it had to be delayed a day because of headaches.

Like A Mofo Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Im not sure if there will ever be "the next Jordan" of endorsements. Willis can get good endorsements, but IMO to envision Willis in the same breath as Jordan is a bit premature to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean it's not realistic to compare a guy playing a sport with 53 guys on the roster, who hasn't started a season as the number 1 player at his position to one of the greatest American athletes of all time?
