UCLA's marketing department has kept busy this offseason. There's been advertisements in local newspapers, and now you'll notice billboards around Los Angeles promoting UCLA football and its success.

Jessica Chaoui at Go Joe Bruin certainly has taken notice.

"Driving through LA, the amount of billboards you see is overwhelming," Chaoui writes. "There are billboards for just about anything and everything and while most of these billboards have the main goal of attempting to sell you something, you might be excited to know that that is not the case with UCLA.

"Aside from the UCLA health billboards which advocate for the health program, most of the billboards accented with a blue and gold touch contain much more than just an advertisement. They contain motivational messages from legends like Troy Aikman, or even feature stills of NCAA champion gymnasts."

UCLA also will honor Brett Hundley, Eric Kendricks and Owamagbe Odighizuwa, all of whom were drafted in this year's NFL draft.

Added Chaoui: "To honor the players for their achievement of being drafted to the NFL, UCLA has stated that they will be posting billboards around Los Angeles in their honor. On the billboard design is a big congratulations, the player’s name and picture, and the logo of their future team. As an added perk, on the bottom of the billboard it also honors these players as UCLA graduates, another achievement to be proud of."
