Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges appears to have a new fan in Uncle Si from “Duck Dynasty.”
“I used to be a Saints fan, but I heard the good news,” Uncle Si says in a video posted to the official Duck Commander Twitter account on Sunday. “The Steelers have got a duck for a quarterback. Go get ’em duck.” He then blows his duck call. He also tagged the post with the Steelers’ Twitter slogan #herewego.

Uncle Si, whose full name is Si Robertson, is duck-call maker at Duck Commander, an outdoor company from West Monroe, La. The company and the family that own it became hugely popular on the A&E TV show.
Hodges, born and raised in Alabama, won the 2009 Junior World Duck Calling Contest at age 13 and won the 2018 Alabama State Duck Calling Championship.
Hodges will start in Sunday’s game against the Cardinals at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. Kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. ET.
