🏈 At Friday’s practice in Ireland, Pittsburgh Steelers players wore jerseys with Gaelic translations of their names.

Steelers equipment manager Adam Regan presented the idea to team president Art Rooney II and vice president of business development and strategy Dan Rooney.

“Adam Regan, with our equipment department, had a great idea to celebrate Irish heritage through our players wearing these shirts for practice that have their last names on the back in Gaelic,” Dan Rooney said. “So, it’s a neat thing for our players to learn more about Irish culture, but also for the Irish American football fans and Irish Steelers fans alike to see T.J. Watt wearing a shirt with his name in Gaelic on the back. I just think it was a really neat idea.”
