As the Super Bowl excitement had reached its peak, a star-studded commercial featuring NFL quarterback Tua Tagovailoa went viral. Among the fans rallying for Tagovailoa is Deion Sanders Jr. who took to Twitter to share his reaction. 

It is Paramount+ that emerges as a frontrunner with this ingeniously crafted ad starring the Dolphins’ star quarterback, Drew Barrymore, Star Trek icon Patrick Stewart, and beloved cartoons like Hey, Arnold! As this star-studded cast seems to embark on a snowy mountain expedition, Sanders Jr. could not restrict his excitement.  

Sander’s playful commentary on Tagovailoa’s commercial

The scene in the commercial, as shared by Coach Prime’s eldest son captures a whimsical journey to scale a snowy mountain. However, as the camera focuses on the quarterback Tagovailoa, he adds a comic touch by attempting to use his football skills to scale the cliff. Upon sharing the video on Twitter, Sanders Jr. expressed his disbelief, stating, “I still can’t believe bro start going in on Hey Arnold like that…out of nowhere.”

Being taken aback by Tagovailoa’s unexpected and humorous nature, as seen in the commercial, he had been left mesmerized. Super Bowl commercials often form an integral part of the overall game-day experience by drawing the attention of the fans to the light-hearted and humorous side of the sport. In this particular commercial brought into action by Paramount+, Tagovailoa’s participation among the celebrity cameos showcased his increasing star power beyond the field.

In the commercial Tagovailoa is seen coming up with an impromptu suggestion to make use of his knowledge in football. When the execution of the quarterback’s idea turned out to be shallow, Barrymore too dismissed another idea that involved throwing Hey, Arnold! against the wall. Even though Tagovailoa has no prior background in acting, he succeeds in amalgamating with the actors, creating a memorable moment for viewers.
