You wonder how many takes he had to do before he could do it without cracking up. And his facial expression when he’s flexing with them is hard to beat. When they say they’re there to “Pump you up,” Rodgers says “I’m sorry, what?” like he had never seen the old SNL bit. Raji, Rodgers' work in the Hans and Franz State Farm ad shows off his acting chops. Rodgers: While Peyton Manning said he liked the State Farm commercial Rodgers did with a cameo from B.J. Newton didn’t have to say much, but he pulled it off like he does most short-yardage runs. His reaction when the young boy suggests when he grows up that Newton could be his backup, that he will make Panthers’ fans forget about the first pick of the 2011 draft and become the favorite player of Newton’s mom is priceless.
