School is right around the corner for most public schools in the country, and the Steelers are making sure our youth in the Pittsburgh area are going back the right way. The Back-To-School event took place right at Heinz Field and included a plethora of supplies all donated by the team.

Just another good day’s work for the good guys in black and gold. The Steelers will look to rest easy this evening as they prepare to take on the Detroit Lions tomorrow in their third preseason game thus far in 2021. Expect to see Banner, Highsmith, Dotson, Haskins and Edmunds all suited up come game time.

More to come.

I was just talking to a certain farmer friend about Banner how he has his hands in a lot of good things. He was making some sort of Jewish baked dish on Instagram today raising racial awareness. I just like the kid always doing solid things.

Nice write up B-wall. !


I can read these kinds of stories all day long and into the night. I realize other team's players do things like this as well but DAMN, when it's our guys it just seems so much more special. I'm glad for the selflessness of many, including non play




Salute the nation
