Fan-Serenading Football Stars

The NFL 'We Play For You' Video Features Players Singing Thank You

In 'We Play For You' the players visit fans at their places of work, home or play, and get together to serenade these football-loving fans with the famous Bette Midler song "The Wind Beneath My Wings."

The new NFL singing ad is a great way for teams and players of the NFL to show their appreciation for their loyal fans.
