Happy Friday! It's time for the weekly social media roundup.
We have a lot from the Steelers this week from their bye week and their return to the facilities. Trevor Williams carries the Pirates' social media on his back over the offseason, it seems. The rest of the guys don't post too often. The Penguins are pretty quiet on social media during the season. Interesting.
Many of the Steelers went home for the bye week. A few of them made stops at their alma maters to check out some football. JuJu Smith-Schuster caught up with Troy Polamalu at USC:

Trevor is hard at work, training for his stolen bases next season:

Cam Heyward has some sponsorship deal with Paqui Chips, and they're doing something called the One Chip Challenge with what they call the "world's hottest chip." Cam put some of the Steelers to the test:
Mike Mitchell owed Farrington Huguenin some money after he ate the chip:
While some of the guys clearly struggled, Joey Porter ate it like it was a Dorito:
James Harrison, surprisingly, was too scared:
Roosevelt Nix made a big announcement on his Twitter:
I️ just wanna personally come out and say that @cheezit hot and spicy grooves are simply the greatest snack ever #YallUpToSomething

Trevor Williams, movie buff:
Whilst wearing a Star Wars shirt a gentleman came up to me & said "I love Star Wars! Who is your favorite?" I said Gandalf & he screamed.

Jameson Taillon struggled with his pretzels:
Today, on my flight, I inhaled all of my complementary pretzels before the drink cart made it to my aisle. It's healthy to get out of your comfort zone and take big risks #drymouthhiccups

Vince Williams had some takes on the NFL:
This is what regular ppl don't get. There are no super sorry teams in the NFL anyone on anyday can get their ass beat. Everyone has pro bowlers and 1st rounders.

A tie is really a L. If you dispute this then clearly you are trash.

Trevor expressed his feelings on Twitter's new longer tweets, in a 157-character tweet:
You can tell me I'm a bad pitcher or that I don't have a thigh gap, but DONT EVER respond to my tweets in more than 140 characters. I will block & report you

The Twitter account Captain Andrew Luck, a Luck parody account that takes the style of a Civil War soldier writing home to his mother, had some tweets ahead of the Steelers' game in Indianapolis:

Scouts send word Steel men are marching on our base camp, their impressive Bell in tow. They’re rested, we: weary.

Scouts send word the Steel men inch closer to town. Their captain, a man whose name is so hard to pronounce, they simply call him “Ben,” is of tremendous stature. Worrisome.

Scouts have yet to see the Steel men, but report towels covered in cheese and meat litter the area. They must be close. We listen for their coveted Bell to give away position. Overwrought.
