Barry Sanders makes epic appearance in NFL 100 Super Bowl ad

The best Super Bowl commercial of 2019 might belong to the NFL.

Dozens of former and current NFL stars collaborated on an epic 2-minute advertisement celebrating the league's 100-year anniversary. And, of course, it had a strong Michigan flavor.

Former Detroit Lions stars Barry Sanders and Ndamukong Suh appear in the ad, along with ex-Michigan quarterback Tom Brady and esports star Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, who hails from Detroit.

The ad starts with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell speaking to a banquet hall full of current and former players. But things get hectic when Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch leans back in his chair to swipe a taste of a five-decker cake.
