KJ Hamler recreates classic ‘Pick Me’ fantasy football commercial

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler recreated a classic fantasy football commercial and shared the results on social media this week.

Here is Hamler’s version of a Chris Chambers stunt created to promote Reebok and NFL.com’s fantasy football leagues in the late 2000s.

That sure brings back memories!

Hamler’s stunt isn’t quite as good as the originals but it’s worth noting that many of the original “Fantasy Files” were doctored. Here is the original from Chambers — it’s possible that it’s real but not certain.

Chambers spent 10 years in the NFL, playing for the Miami Dolphins, San Diego Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs. He caught 540 passes for 7,648 yards and 58 touchdowns.

Hamler was selected by the Broncos in the second round of this year’s NFL draft after catching 98 passes for 1,658 yards and 13 touchdowns in two seasons at Penn State. Hamler also rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown and totaled 1,258 return yards for the Nittany Lions.
