Who is the athlete who is a Steelers fan?
Draymond Green, who plays for the Golden State Warriors, was born on March 4, 1990, in Saginaw, Michigan, and attended Saginaw High School there. His Steelers loyalty is not tied to Pittsburgh by geography. He told Steelers On SI in October 2024 that his fandom goes back to childhood and traced it to Jerome Bettis, a Detroit, Michigan native Green watched as a kid, which is why he says he "would always watch the Steelers."
Did Draymond Green grow up a Steelers fan?
By his own account, yes. He described himself as a huge fan of "The Bus" as a child, and his interview with Steelers On SI dates the fandom to those years. The Steelers won Super Bowl XL in 2006, the year Green turned 16.
