🏈 Roman Wilson and Nick Herbig were teammates at Saint Louis High School in Honolulu, Hawaii. They also grew up playing youth football together.

“We kind of grew up together a little bit,” Wilson said on a conference call with Pittsburgh media. “So, that’s my guy.

“I never thought I would be on the same team as him in the NFL. But as I got closer to the draft day, there were more and more rumblings about it. I could kind of see it happening before it started.”

🏈 Bill Belichick begged Rob Gronkowski to stop doing his job as an analyst on Fox NFL Sunday at the Tom Brady roast event.
