Mark Richt once starred in an Italian blue jeans ad... seriously | Video

Almost 35 years ago, Mark Richt, then a redshirt senior quarterback at UM, was part of a commercial for an Italian jeans company. Check it out:

The Palm Beach Post's Matt Porter uncovered the existence of a campy, Italian blue jeans television commercial that was produced in 1982 and featured, for a few seconds at least, Miami Hurricanes coach Mark Richt while he was a redshirt senior quarterback at UM.

Richt, who went to high school in Boca Raton before going on to be a member of a legendary quarterback class in Coral Gables (with Jim Kelly, Vinny Testaverde and Bernie Kosar) is seen jumping rope in the video's first 10 seconds.
