Joe Burrow's name is yet to be called in the NFL Draft; though it's inevitable as the popular belief is that he'll be the No. 1 overall pick. Nevertheless, there's already one brand that recognizes his star power by casting him in his first commercial.
His first foray into the national spotlight was a spot at Nerf. The popular toy gun manufacturer got the LSU standout to advertise their latest product, the Ultra Two. However, he wasn't doing these shenanigans alone.

He had household names joining him in the ad. Julian Edelman, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Christian McCaffrey, and Jamal Adams joined him in the hilarious advertisement.
It's understandable if fans would find the commercial silly. It's a product meant for kids, and advertisements involving the top football athletes won't always be the best-acted ones. However, the fact that Burrow is already taken as an ambassador while he's yet to formally join the NFL is a manifestation of the amount of expectation set on him.
It's an open secret that the Cincinnati Bengals will select him with the first overall pick, and it's up to his on-field performances to make sure that this wonky ad won't be the final time he'll be appearing in an ad.
