Former Steelers WR tells Eric Ebron playing in Pittsburgh is ‘football Heaven’

Most players who spend any time with the Pittsburgh Steelers say it is one of the best experiences in the NFL. Many former players who go on to play elsewhere often return after retirement where they remain endeared to the city and the fanbase.

New Steelers tight end Eric Ebron sent out the tweet above about playing in Pittsburgh and a face from the past joined in to let him know just how great it is playing for the Steelers.

Former Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace called playing in Steelers “football Heaven” and this isn’t an uncommon opinion. Wallace spent her first four seasons with the Steelers and arguably had the best stretch of his career in Pittsburgh.

But Wallace, like so many others left the Steelers to chase a big payday and were never able to replicate the type of success they had in Pittsburgh. Wallace has bounced between three teams since leaving the Steelers but hey he made that money so it’s all good, right?
