While their team wasn’t in the big game, several past and one present Pittsburgh Steelers players starred in Super Bowl LVI commercials on Sunday.
• Road to Super Bowl LVI
In a Pepsi and Frito-Lay commercial, former Steelers running back and Super Bowl XL champion Jerome Bettis brings the bus for a Super Bowl road trip. Along the way Bettis picks up Eli Manning, Victor Cruz and Terry Bradshaw (winner of four Super Bowls). The clip also features Peyton Manning.
• Bring down the house
Steelers’ Hall of Famer and two-time Super Bowl winner Troy Polamalu joins a huge cast for this NFL commercial featuring past and present players. All the players, which include Lamar Jackson, Rob Gronkowski, Derek Henry, Peyton Manning (again) and others, are animated, while the family in the clip is live-action.
• JuJu’s Pizza Hut clip
Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster starred in a 15-second commercial for Pizza Hut with comedian Craig Robinson and actor Oliver Cooper. After Robinson asks, “Can I say JuJu Smith-Schuster eats Pizza Hut before every game?” Smith-Schuster responds, “It’s not in the contract.”
