NFL all time greats demand a plan to end gun violence [View all]




&feature=player_embedded






Stars of the commercial.




Deion Sanders is a Hall of Fame defensive back who won Super Bowls with the 49ers and Cowboys. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest coverage corners in league history.




Marshall Faulk was an all star running back with the Rams. He won a Super Bowl in 1999 and was elected to the Hall of Fame shortly after his retirement. He was the catalyst to the "Greatest Show on Turf" offense that is considered one of the best offenses in the history of the sport.



Michael Irvin was the top wide receiver and Hall of Fame player for the Dallas Cowboys. He is a 3 time Super Bowl Champion. His Cowboy teams of the early 1990s are regarded among the greatest teams of all time.



Emmitt Smith is the all time leading rusher in NFL history. No player in the history of the sport has run for more yards than Smith during his now Hall of Fame career. He won 3 Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys. He is a Super Bowl MVP. Like Irvin, he was a big star with the Dallas Cowboys during the early 1990s.



Ladianian Thomlison was an all star running back with the San Diego Chargers. Just recently retired, he is a sure fire, first ballot Hall of Famer. He is 5th all time in rushing yards and scored the 3rd most touchdowns in NFL history. He was the NFL's league MVP in 2006.
