Steelers' Zach Banner hits Pittsburgh streets to ask fans questions for Terrible Towels
Nobody does an interview show like Zach Banner.
No. 72 in your programs and No. 1 in the hearts of many Pittsburgh Steelers fans, the offensive lineman took to city streets in a video to ask tough questions and give out Terrible Towels.
The video, dubbed “Banner on the Street,” saw Banner clad in a Steelers Christmas sweater and Christmas lights walking around Market Square.
Questions ranged from “who founded the Steelers?” to Christmas-themed queries like “what’s the best Christmas movie?” to which Banner asserted was “Die Hard.”
Banner has become somewhat of a cult hero to Steelers fan throughout the season. The 6-foot-8, 360 pound lineman continues to get a rousing ovation when “No. 72 is eligible” is announced at Heinz Field when the team goes to the jumbo formation.
The Steelers play the New York Jets at 1 p.m. Sunday.
