About Aflac The first few thoughts that come to mind when we think of Aflac are a goofy duck, Deion Sanders and Nick Saban. As most large insurance companies tend to have silly and intriguing commercials since insurance itself is arguably one of the most boring topics of conversation ever, it’s good to know that
