Jalen Ramsey for a CLIO? He stars in hilarious “rookie mistakes” ad

LA Rams All-Pro defensive back Jalen Ramsey wants to win the Lombardi Trophy. But if he has a chance to add a CLIO Award for best commercial, who will complain? After all, this is the period before SB LVI, and anything goes, right?

The Super Bowl is more than the NFL happening of the season. It is the time when the best and brightest minds in the world of television commercials flex their collective marketing and give the viewing audience some of the most entertaining and memorable television commercial moments of the year.

Per Statista.com, the cost of a 30-second television commercial to be aired during the Super Bowl LV broadcast cost somewhere at or above $5.6 million.  The last time the LA Rams played, in SB LIII, the cost for a 30 second spot set advertisers back $5.3 million. For Super Bowl LVI, Adage.com (subscription required) has quoted 30-second segments costing as much as $7.0 million.  With so much money on the line just to get their message to the viewing audience, it’s no small wonder why advertisers go to great lengths to put their absolute best efforts into wowing the viewing audience.

But why should they have all the fun? After all, the LA Rams should have a bit of chortling too. Particularly since the team has fought so hard just to get here. So we’ve snagged a couple of advertisements featuring the LA Rams’ very own defensive back Jalen Ramsey, where he was part of a four-player NFL entourage that features the SNICKERS Rookie Mistake of the Year campaign.

Ramsey up for a CLIO?

Contestants submitted their ‘Rookie Mistake of the Year’ entries, and one was selected to receive a pair of tickets to attend Super Bowl LVI. The first video shows Ramsey, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Davante Adams, and Stefon Diggs in a segment featuring players reading some of the honorary mentions of Rookie Mistake of the Year entries for the contest.

Okay, maybe a smile or a chuckle, right? Well, we saved the best for last, folks. Here is the LA Rams’ very own All-Pro defensive back Jalen Ramsey in a rookie mistake reenactment that puts his acting skills on full display.

Waddya think? Should he stick to the NFL? Or does he have a future in acting?

In any case, life is far too important to be taken seriously. Sometimes, we just need to have a bit of fun and good times. Even though Jalen Ramsey takes his preparation for each game extremely seriously, he knows that even he needs to find the time to laugh a bit.

Jalen Ramsey is an All-Pro NFL defensive back. But a few more like these, and he may find himself needing to make room for a CLIO award? Or perhaps an Academy Award? Yeah, I know. Rookie mistake. Now, where did I put that snickers bar?
