In popular culture
Veris was featured in the Family Guy episode "Run, Chris, Run" as the character Glenn Quagmire is playing as Veris and unsuccessfully trying to tackle Bo Jackson with in the game Tecmo Super Bowl. Veris was listed as a teammate of Ronnie Lott in the game for the 49ers in a somewhat anachronistic move, as Lott was playing for the Los Angeles Raiders by the time Veris was playing for the 49ers, and Jackson was out of the NFL due to his devastating hip injury two years before.[5]
