PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are making viral news outside of the NFL or game of football in general. Meanwhile, Joey Porter Jr. is being named one of the NFL's best building blocks, and Pittsburgh may have a top 10 rookie offensive line in 2024.

Antonio Brown Viral Clip

Hailey Welch, a 21-year-old girl from Tennessee, caught everyone's attention with a short TikTok interview outside of a Nashville bar. She's since gone viral across the internet, being the biggest topic of conversation on every platform, including many sports shows.

How did a former Steelers wide receiver get involved? Well, during his first interview since the viral video, speaking with Barstool Sports' Brianna Lapaglia on the "Plan Bri Uncut" podcast, Welch was asked about some famous male celebrities. One of those names was former Steelers All-Pro Antonio Brown, who Welch did not know.

This sparked immediate reactions across NFL Twitter, with most of the fanbase discussing the trending clip.

"Who's that," Welch responded when asked about Brown.

Brown saw the video clip of the interview and decided to respond, saying it was "cool" that Welch didn't know who he was.

Welch has already started making headlines within the sports world, being seen partying with NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal. Now, she's in the NFL news cycle with another viral clip of her being asked about Brown.

Joey Porter Jr. Named Biggest Building Block

Steelers second-year cornerback Joey Porter Jr. has been named the team's biggest building block by Bleacher Report. Porter is entering his second year and first full season as a starter. He's expected to continue covering WR1's for opposing teams, and Pittsburgh's secondary looks very improved with the additions of Cam Sutton and Donte Jackson.

"Offense or defense? Flip a coin. Pittsburgh's choice is between receiver George Pickens and corner Joey Porter Jr., and—while either is reasonable—I lean toward the latter. Porter yielded 7.1 yards per target as a rookie, defending 10 passes and missing only three tackles. He finished fifth in AP Defensive Rookie of the Year voting," Bleacher Report writes.

Zach Frazier a Top 10 Rookie Lineman?

Offensive line analyst Brandon Thorn believes the Steelers might have something special in second-round pick Zach Frazier. He sees the rookie as an instant-starter for Pittsburgh, who could be a top 10, top 12 center in the NFL this season - and remain in that place long-term.

"Frazier, I see like a David Andrews sort of center, a guy you could stick in there for a long time, he’s gonna be a huge benefit to… whatever quarterback you have in there, and he’s just gonna do everything pretty well and he’s gonna be a good run blocker and things like that," Thorn said on The Athletic Football Show podcast. “That’s kind of how I see him being. So maybe like a top-10, top-12 center as a rookie. That wouldn’t surprise me at all. He’s an older prospect; he’s played a lot of football. I think he’s ready to go, right away."

Frazier will compete with Nate Herbig for the starting job this offseason, looking to be one of two rookie starters on the offensive line next to Troy Fautanu.
