Pittsburgh Steelers draft Germie Bernard in second round of NFL Draft
EXPERIENCE. DAY TWO OF THE DRAFT HERE AT POINT STATE PARK IS CERTAINLY STILL BUSY, BUT IT IS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT. IF YOU LOOK AROUND, IT REALLY LOOKS MORE LIKE A STEELERS TAILGATE, AND THERE REALLY IS A LOT OF STEELER EXCITEMENT. FROM THE SECOND THE GATES OPENED FOR THE NFL DRAFT AND THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS, WHO FANS WERE TAKING IT ALL IN. IT’S FUN. IT’S LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE. AND IT’S LIKE FUN THAT THE DRAFT IS LIKE AT PITTSBURGH. IS IT EVER. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, THE STEEL CITY IS ON DISPLAY FROM BOOTHS DEDICATED TO STEELERS HISTORY TO INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES AND GAMES. YEAH, IT’S NICE OUT HERE. IT’S NICE. AND LOTS OF FAMILIES HAVING A GOOD DAY. A DAY FILLED WITH FUN. AND OF COURSE, FOOD. WE WANTED TO COME DOWN AND SEE A PART OF HISTORY AND BRING OUR KIDS TO MORE. THEY’RE OVER IN LINE SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT WE WANTED TO SEE THE CITY. AND FOR SOME THAT BROUGHT A LITTLE REFLECTION ON THE STEELERS NUMBER ONE DRAFT PICK. WE WERE OUTSIDE THE STADIUM LAST NIGHT. YOU CAN TELL BY THE CROWD NOT EVERYBODY WAS ON IT, AND I WASN’T SURE AT FIRST. BUT AFTER READING ABOUT IT THIS MORNING AND READING ABOUT HIM, I THINK IT MAY. MAYBE A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH. THE EAGLES TOOK OUR PICK. I KNOW THEY DID. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, I DON’T DO NOT LIKE THAT. THAT WAS VERY NICE WAY TO PUT THAT. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AGREE WITH THE PICK OR NOT. EVERYONE SEEMS TO AGREE WITH THIS. WE’RE HAVING A BLAST. IF YOU HAVEN’T HAD A CHANCE TO MAKE IT HERE TO POINT STATE PARK, YOU DO HAVE ONE MORE DAY. DAY THREE OF THE NFL DRAFT. THEY WILL BE CELEBRATING HERE
