According to Matt Urban of thefalconswire.com, Gatorade rolled out a new commercial starring high-profile athletes from various sports. Those stars included Elena Delle Donne of the Washington Mystics in the WNBA, American sprinter and hurdler Sydney McLaughlin, Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies in the MLB, Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA and Todd Gurley of the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL.

In the commercial, all of the athletes are trying out some different sports. Gurley is seen prominently while giving a shot to baseball and lacrosse.
Oh, and to top it off, Todd Gurley finishes the commercial by showing off his fencing skills.
The running back has not played for the Falcons yet. They signed him this offseason after he was released by the Los Angeles Rams.
Todd Gurley is one of the very best in the NFL though. He had a down year in 2019, but still managed 12 rushing touchdowns and two more touchdowns in the air.
Three of his five seasons have seen Gurley run for over 1,000 yards. Meanwhile, four of his five seasons granted the running back over 10 rushing touchdowns.
While Todd Gurley's 2019 season was indeed a down one, his 2018 year was the best of his career. So the Falcons are hoping he can find that form once again.
The commercial gives Atlanta fans a more direct insight into Todd Gurley. It shows off his goofier side, and puts him in an ad with some elite athletes from different sports.
And let's be honest, now we all need to see how Todd Gurley would actually perform if he were in a fencing duel.
