Add an homage to Dallas, the soapy prime-time drama, to the ever-growing list of nostalgic ‘80s references continuing to sweep pop culture and advertising.

But the stars of this new digital short—from Stun Creative in Los Angeles—aren’t Bobby, Sue Ellen or any of the landed gentry from the Ewing clan. They’re the hottest young prospects in football.

The show’s iconic intro is reborn as an NFL Draft 2018 promo that recreates, nearly shot for shot, the Dallas opening credits, from the sweeping city views to the bombastic theme music.
