In the first spot from the campaign titled Running Back Sons, the fathers of star running backs Marshawn Lynch of the Seattle Seahawks and Arian Foster of the Houston Texans compete against the other to raise the better football-playing son.
The Mill creative director and 3D lead John Leonti describes his experience on the project saying, "Director Wayne McClammy dreamed up lots of ridiculous scenarios to play out through this campaign which made filming a huge amount of fun."
Although we may never get to the bottom of who the more superior football player is, the collaboration between The Mill and Hungry Man creatives prove to be an all-star team.
