Seahawks OT Ray Willis Plays "Mean" Joe Greene Role

When the Seattle Seahawks reached a partnership with Seattle-based Jones Soda Company a few years ago, future Hall of Fame offensive tackle Walter Jones was part of the ad campaign.

When the Seattle Seahawks reached a partnership with Seattle-based Jones Soda Company a few years ago, future Hall of Fame offensive tackle Walter Jones was part of the ad campaign.

The Seahawks and Jones Soda Co. ended their partnership last month, [Ed. note: thankfully] and the following day Coca-Cola was named as the official soft drink partner of the Seattle Seahawks and Qwest Field.

Walter Jones retired this off-season, so when it came time to film a promo for Coke's availability at Qwest Field, Ray Willis, a Seahawks offensive tackle who, like Jones, played left tackle at Florida State, was chosen for the "Mean" Joe Greene-themed commercial.

Danny O'Neil of the Seattle Times notes that Willis is usually one of the first combatants in training camp scuffles, and at 6-6 and 315 pounds, Willis certainly one of the biggest and most intimidating players on the Seahawks' roster.
