? Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara sat with Steelers offensive lineman Spencer Anderson at the Penguins game on Saturday night. Anderson was a seventh-round pick out of Maryland in 2023 by Pittsburgh. It’s unclear if they knew each other prior, but the rumors that Wilson distanced himself from teammates in Denver seem to be untrue.
This time a year ago Spencer Anderson was a fringe NFL prospect out of Maryland. The Steelers took him with the ninth-to-last pick in the draft. Now he’s sitting next to Ciara at an NHL game. Football really can take you places. pic.twitter.com/BE1iLjiCdX
