Pittsburgh Steelers News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — YouTuber Banned from NFL After Staging Draft Stunt. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 29th, YouTuber Fred Byer, a 24-year-old from Venice, Florida, just landed an indefinite band from every NFL game and event after, crashing the 2026 draft stage. He grabbed the mic and announced the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting fake prospect, Luke Maxcer, with the 67th pick, turning heads in the middle of the real action. Byer pulled it off by rocking a black Steelers polo and flashing a phony credential he printed at Staples, somehow slipping past security without a hitch. Earlier this week, cops hit him with a criminal trespass citation for the stunt. The NFL laid down the law in a direct letter, saying they call law enforcement and arrest him if he shows up anywhere near their events, urging him to reflect hard on his choices. Fans and players lit up social media, some laughing at the boldness, while others called it, straight disrespect to the league. According to his 19-minute YouTube video documenting the whole thing, Byer was out for revenge trolling after former Steelers running back.
LeVionne Bell dodged a one-on-one tackling challenge he proposed. Byer, with over 2 million subscribers on his prank channel, even signed the band papers on camera, owning the fallout as his latest viral moment, Keats Wrecking Abuse.
