VIDEO: Cowboys' Kellen Moore and Leighton Vander Esch Star in Wild Local Idaho Commercial
By Kevin Aquino
Although they're a part of the fabric of the Dallas Cowboys, LB Leighton Vander Esch and OC Kellen Moore are helping Idaho out a bit -- a place they both called home. Both Vander Esch and Moore attended Boise State prior to their NFL careers, though Vander Esch was actually born and raised in Idaho, too. Together, they starred in a commercial for the Idaho-based Kendall Auto, wearing a number of different disguises, and finding themselves in strange circumstances.

Putting "not fragile" on the box that holds Vander Esch is a nice touch, because if you haven't seen the 6-foot-4, 255-pounder play, he isn't someone you want to run into on the field. Eli Manning didn't have much luck with that.
And that was...that was Moore twice, right?
Shooting a commercial together is one way to boost team chemistry, and it seems to be paying off, with the Cowboys looking like one of the top teams in the league so far this season.
The best is yet to come for second year #DallasCowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch.

Dallas is looking to bounce back from their loss to New Orleans against the Packers this Sunday. If the Cowboys bring Vander Esch out in a big box full of packing peanuts, they will have won already.
