Depot After Dark: Heyward and Austin in Ireland, Flash Fest, Blount in the locker room

A daily segment from Steelers Depot. A quick look at some Pittsburgh Steelers related stories that may not require a full article, but some nuggets worth mentioning and passing along to you guys.

Your deposit after dark for June 15th.

Steelers hold camp in Ireland

After the mandatory minicamp ended, Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin III and TE Connor Heyward flew to Ireland to host a youth football camp in Belfast, and it appears they will host one in Cork tomorrow, according to the Steelers Ireland Twitter/X account. .

The Steelers hold global marketing rights to Ireland and have hosted a number of events in the region. Belfast is in the United Kingdom, as it is part of Northern Ireland, but the Steelers also hold the marketing rights for Northern Ireland as well as the Republic of Ireland. With the Steelers having no official team activities until they report to Saint Vincent College in Latrobe on July 24, Heyward and Austin are helping to grow the game around the world as Steelers representatives.

The Steelers could play a game in Ireland in the not-so-distant future, so Heyward and Austin can also get a feel for the field ahead of time.

Cordarrelle Patterson hosts Flash Fest

Although the name may sound suggestive, Cordarelle Patterson also does good for the community by hosting a festival called Flash Fest with the local Boys and Girls Club of York and Chester County in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

The event promises “a day of fun field activities, bounce houses and much more.” The event will take place on Friday June 21. Patterson was born and raised in Rock Hill, so he gives back to the community he grew up in. Patterson also hosted the event last year on July 8, according to Richmond Drive Elementary School. , where the event takes place again.

It’s always good to see players giving back to the community, and Patterson seems to be putting on a fun event for people of all ages to have fun in the community he grew up in.

Mel Blount in the Steelers facilities

Former Pittsburgh Steelers CB Mel Blount is one of the best defensive backs in NFL history, and he was back at the team facility this week. He posted a video of himself on Twitter/X walking around the facility and looking at the Lombardi Trophies, of which he helped bring four to Pittsburgh.

The Steelers are a team known for always welcoming their alumni back to the facility, and Blount is one of the best Steelers in team history. It’s cool to see him come back and look at some of the trophies he brought to Pittsburgh.
