The Pittsburgh Steelers enjoyed their bye week in Week 5, but the time off hasn’t been all that relaxing for safety DeShon Elliott. That’s because he is getting continuously trolled by veteran defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, with his latest move seeing him get Elliott a hilarious gift.
While the Steelers were in Ireland for their Week 4 contest against the Minnesota Vikings, Elliott tried Guinness beer for the first time in his life. He did not appear to enjoy the popular Irish beverage, with Heyward snapping a photo of Elliott with a look of disgust on his face after he took his first sip.
Heyward referred to Elliott by a new nickname, “Deli,” which Elliott quickly tried to shake. It seems like it’s going to stick around, though, because Heyward made Elliott a custom No. 25 “Deli” Steelers jersey, and proceeded to have the entire team sign it for him. Elliott had a rather NSFW reaction to Heyward’s gift, which the veteran defensive lineman shared in a post on Instagram.
“Deli is not Deshon Elliott nickname but just know the whole team got love for you! 😂😂😂😂” Heyward wrote in his post.
Heyward has been a maniac on the field so far this season, so if he keeps playing at his high level for the Steelers, Elliott will likely let him call him whatever he wants. Pittsburgh will be back in action on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. ET, as it will take on the Cleveland Browns for its Week 6 action.
