Hundreds of people descended on Heinz Field in Pittsburgh on Saturday for Fan Blitz, the Steelers’ celebration of this year’s NFL draft.
Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore, who have won the hearts of Steelers Nation in the NBC hit series ‘This is Us,’ made a special appearance.
The Steelers gave the actors special jerseys with the names of their TV characters, “R Pearson” and “J Pearson” imprinted on them.
