You know those Subway commercials with all the athletes? Did you know that when you’re one of Subway’s athletes, you get a sandwich bust in your likeness?
Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones is the latest to enter into this tradition. Detroit Lions DT Ndamukong Suh shares this, along with a memory of his old bust, on Facebook, saying, “Welcome to the Subway fam Jarvis Jones! I remember mine like it was yesterday!!!!”
The img.ly post comes with the caption:
Welcome to the family @sacmanjones_29 ! I remember mine like it was yesterday! #FamousFan @subway #smokehousebbqchicken sculpture
Jones is also showing his sandwich pride, tweeting out some different angles as captured with Instagram:

Why don’t they put these in the commercials? These are much better than this actual Smokehouse BBQ Chicken ad from Subway:
At least they’re actively promoting the sandwich art on social media (and in interviews):
