They had Terrible Towels ready. They had Mike Tomlin on the phone. And they chanted: “HE’S STAYING HOME” pic.twitter.com/bm8gLers4l

Rooting for him to do exceptionally well. The Steelers obviously have been very close to this pick for a long time. It's real tough spot filling the shoes of a HOF qb. I hope he is up to the task

Rooting wholeheartedly for Kenny! He is our QB now. He's easy to root for. He doesn't have to be Ben. No one is expecting him to be a HOFer. If he can win games and give us legit chances to win championships, then that's all we can ask for. Now, get a couple more young pieces this year around him and even more next year. Then, let the fun begin.

Was refreshing to see one humble and happy to be drafted in the NFL .

Are we sure he wasn't just crying because somebody gave him the stat sheet on Mike Tomlin's playoff performance?
