Good for Orakpo
He's not someone I would have pegged necessarily as the face of the team from a commercial perspective

Wow, that is so awesome -- that alone would convince me to buy from Geico

Good for him. I guess I need to target Cowboy, Giant, and Eagle fans that have Geico.

I can't remember the last time I saw a bonafide Redskin have a presence in national tv advertisements. Easterns doesn't count, because their ads were a local thing. McNabb doesn't count, because he was doing all his tv ads before he got here. Some might say this is a bad thing, but I think it's good for Orakpo to increase his profile like this.

Cooley has been in some national commercials.
I remember he was in that NFLN fantasy football commercial a few years ago where he caught a ball after punching his arm through a sheet of drywall. I can't think of any other national tv spots though.
NFL Shop with his wife, Snyder and his wife too are in it too.
Or maybe it was just Cooley's wife... can't remember.

Portis had a spot on NFL Network's total access commercials a few years back.
Remember the Colley spots, good stuff.
