NEW YORK – Here’s a bit of positive news from the Pittsburgh Steelers: they’re letting a kid from the Make-a-Wish Foundation announce their first-round pick tonight, the 18th selection. He’s a self-described “huge Steelers fan” named Zach, and he’s representing the Greater Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana chapter of the foundation, which tries to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening conditions.
It’s been a rough week for the Steelers with the six-game suspension of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, but this is a good turn.
