The NFL social media team hit one out of the park this week with a hilarious thread comparing star players to their Stranger Things doppelgangers.

The highly popular Netflix series recently released its much anticipated fourth season, which has been in the works for quite some time due to COVID holdups. It’s now available to stream.

Early reviews of the latest release are wildly positive with some fans calling it the best since the show’s inaugural season. I guess it was worth the wait.

After giving viewers some time to tune in to the show, the NFL decided to capitalize on the popularity in a hilarious Twitter thread.
