Big Steelers fan Marcus Allen gets the call from his favorite team

I love seeing Steelers fans coming to play for the Steelers:

Quote :

Mar­cus Al­len’s bed­room in Sil­ver Spring, Md., is stocked with Steel­ers par­a­pher­na­lia. So when he re­ceived the phone call Satur­day af­ter­noon that his fa­vor­ite team had drafted him in the fifth round all he had to do was reach over to his night­stand, grab a Steel­ers hat and put it on.

Al­len, a hard-hit­ting safety from Penn State, has strong ties to Pitts­burgh. His father, Shawn, is a 1982 West­ing­house High School grad­u­ate, and his god­fa­ther is for­mer Pitt star and Pro Foot­ball Hall of Famer Cur­tis Mar­tin.

“Man, I’m com­ing home,” an emo­tional Al­len said over the phone Satur­day af­ter­noon. “I’m com­ing home. It’s all tears of joy right now. Ev­ery­one was anx­ious not know­ing where I was go­ing to go. This is a per­fect sit­u­a­tion. This is my home. This is my home­town. My grand­mother is there. My grand­father is there, my whole fam­ily. I’m so ex­cited.”

For some strange reason I knew we were going to draft him.
