Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard revealed during a recent appearance on Cam Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast that he’ll wear a Guardian Cap all season. The rookie out of Alabama has worn a Guardian Cap for the first two preseason games.
Bernard is the third Steelers player to don a Guardian Cap — following former Steelers Jabrill Peppers and James Daniels.
