One of the most commendable aspects of Russell Wilson is the support which he gives to the local communities of the team that he goes to. The quarterback shows up to events to support businesses of the area and can be seen attending games of the regional teams from other sports. Recently, Wilson attended an ice hockey matchup between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Boston Bruins.
Along with Russell Wilson, former NFL safety and legendary Steeler Troy Polamalu was present and Damar Hamlin, the safety of the Buffalo Bills was in attendance as well. The trio showed out in black and yellow, the color combination that has become synonymous with sporting teams in Pittsburgh.
Russell Wilson was rocking a Pittsburgh Steelers varsity jacket and had come with his wife Ciara to watch the game. Troy Polamalu and Damar Hamlin wore a jersey repping the Pittsburgh Penguins. Another notable individual present along with the trio is a man who goes by Ben Roethlisberger, you may or may not be familiar with that name!
Russell Wilson got an opportunity to bond with Pittsburgh’s finest at the Penguins’ game
The legendary quarterback who played 18 seasons for the Steelers and became the youngest QB to win the Super Bowl and hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the age of 23 was there to show his support for the Penguins. This comes ahead of Russell Wilson’s first year in the black and yellow jersey as he hopes to redeem himself as a quarterback in the NFL.
Polamalu and Roethlisberger would have advised the quarterback on how to handle affairs in Pittsburgh, a town that has some of the most passionate football fans in the country. The Steelers name tag comes with a set of expectations that the player is expected to live up to and this year, fans will see if Wilson can live up to them.
Damar Hamlin was present to support his hometown team. The safety for the Buffalo Bills was born in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania and later attended the University of Pittsburgh. He had the opportunity to pick the brains of Troy Polamalu, one of the greatest safeties of all time. Hamlin looks to earn his spot as a starter in the Bills and make his mark on the field following a rough two years following his cardiac arrest.
