Letting Pirates fans know he’s been a lifelong Steelers fan despite growing up in Southern California will only make him a more beloved figure in Pittsburgh, a city that absolutely loves its football.
It’s also believable because Los Angeles didn’t return to pro football until Skenes was a teenager, so if he’d been into football as a boy, he certainly could have adopted the Steelers as his team.
If the Steelers don’t get what they need out of their quarterback battle between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, perhaps the 6’6” Skanes with his rocket arm can quickly travel across town to take over at QB.
