Maplewood Boy Appears In Super Bowl Ad
A group of 32 young fans were featured in the ad that ran before Sunday's game. Among them was Flynn Dannheisser of Maplewood, NJ.
MAPLEWOOD, NJ — The Kansas City Chiefs weren't the only winners in Sunday's Super Bowl. Thirty-two young football fans from across the country, ages 9 to 13, got to appear in a popular ad about the 100th season of the NFL. And one of them was Flynn Dannheisser of Maplewood.
According to a report from WTHR Miami, the NFL previewed its 100th season in a very popular ad last year, so they decided to follow up this year with a "Next 100" commercial to honor the next generation. The ad ran on Fox on Sunday just before the game.
The 32 young fans were meant to represent each NFL team. Dannheisser has some on-screen experience, according to his listing on IMDB. He had a part as a boy in the short film "Nine Minutes."
