For Wisconsin teen, landing prom date with Le'Veon Bell 'means the world'

PITTSBURGH -- Ava Tarantino called her shot.

Back in 2014, Tarantino requested a Twitter follow from Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell, her favorite player. Once Bell obliged, Tarantino followed up with a direct message that she would invite him to prom one day.

"He just didn't know when," said Tarantino, now 17 and a Steelers fan since childhood.
