Welcome to the NFL rook.

A Steelers fan tweeted out back in December that if the Steelers drafted Kenny Pickett, he he would get Kenny Pickett’s jersey tattooed on his back.

As we now know the Pittsburgh Steelers ended up drafting Pickett with the 20th pick in the first round. The fan brought back his Tattoo idea and tweeted at Pickett. If Pickett responded to his tweet then he would actually go through with it.

See Pickett’s response below:

Social media has changed the game for fan/athlete interactions, and that’s what makes it special.

Of course we’re going to need to see the guy follow through and actually deliver on his tattoo promise.

And I’m pretty sure he will.
