Ahead of the Super Bowl, Wheel of Fortune is featuring its “NFL Superfan Tournament” throughout the week. On Monday, Jon H. represented Steelers’ Nation.

Celebrating Nunn
To celebrate Black History Month, the Pittsburgh Steelers celebrated longtime scout Bill Nunn, sharing this tweet Tuesday afternoon.
Nunn, who worked for the Pittsburgh Courier and produced the annual Black All-American Team, was convinced to join the Steelers as a part-time and eventually full-time scout. His eye for talent and HBCU college connections shaped the ’70s dynasty with names like L.C. Greenwood, John Stallworth, and Donnie Shell. His teachings were passed down to scouts hired after him, and his influence on the team still remains even a decade after his death. The Steelers’ draft room is named the Bill Nunn Draft Room.
Seth Meyers New “Steelers Book”
Monday night, late-night host and Steelers fan Seth Meyers poked some fun at the Travis Kelce/Taylor Swift conspiracy theories about the Super Bowl being rigged.
