Steelers season never truly ends for Steeler Nation so while the offseason starts to heat up we’ll be busy looking for mentions of your Black & Gold so we’ve got you covered. Here’s your Steelers Morning Huddle for Sunday, Jan. 31st.

What it’s all about

More from Steelers News

Steelers receiver

Antonio Brown

is the greatest receiver in the league and this week he proved that he’s one of the greatest guys ever.

Teresa Varley tells us

that Brown reached out to Austin McNew, a teenage football player in Indiana who suffered a spinal cord injury in a sledding accident.

Brown was reached out to on social media by friends of Austin, who told him how big of a Steelers and Antonio Brown fan he was and Brown responded by FaceTiming him in the hospital. He promised to keep in touch and reminded Austin that his mother had Brown’s phone number.

Austin’s new motto during his recovery; business is booming. Believe that.

Truce, sort of

Steelers running back

DeAngelo Williams

is in Hawaii this week as a military correspondent for the NFL Pro Bowl for USAA insurance.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler tells us

how Williams challenged Bengals Pro Bowl tight end

Tyler Eifert

to a pretty cool challenge.

They each had five minutes to get the most autographs on a helmet by military personnel. The military officers signed the helmets like as if they were the football stars and it was pretty awesome. Eifert technically won the challenge but the real winners always are the men and women who wear the uniforms to protect our country.

Message from the Pro Bowl

 Steelers guard David DeCastro shares this message to Steelers fans from the Pro Bowl. He’s the only Steelers player represented as the other two voted in; Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger, both dropped out due to injury.
