MEMPHIS - New York Giants quarterback and Super Bowl 42 MVP Eli Manning was at Briarcrest Christian School on Tuesday afternoon to film three TV commercials promoting Reebok’s Speedwick athletic sportswear.
The commercial features Manning and Giants’ wide receiver Domenik Hixon, who last season led the team in receiving yards, pulling pranks on second-year safety Kenny Phillips.
The commercials will begin airing in July, just in time for the start of NFL training camp, said Jonathan Isen, executive producer and managing director with Phasmatrope Studios.
Reebok decided to shoot the commercial in Memphis because of the city's proximity to Manning's off-season home in Oxford, Miss.
