Players Who Do Not Bowl Over Ad People

When the Super Bowl ends, product endorsement careers begin.

But don’t look for these players to score, ribs the ad agency Foote, Cone & Belding:

* Mark Rypien, Washington Redskin quarterback: “Not your typically charismatic QB . . . his idea of fun is watching deer graze.”

* Thurman Thomas, Buffalo Bills running back: “Lacks the flash and camera-ready looks of Buffalo’s all-time great O. J. Simpson. Needs a memorable nickname like ‘Sturmin’ Thurman.’ ”

* Andre Collins, Washington Redskin linebacker: “One of 19 children . . . not the guy you want selling any kind of birth control product.”
