From Arabic to Kentucky love, Steelers pay homage to Muhammad Ali

The death of Muhammad Ali at age 74 has captivated the sports world this weekend, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are no exception.

The Steelers tweeted a collage of Steelers players' social media responses to Ali's passing, including one particularly heartfelt message from safety Mike Mitchell, who, like Ali, is from Kentucky.

Antonio Brown kept it simple: "RIP, Champ. Thank you for your wisdom."

Ali's larger-than-life persona drew fans to him, but at least one Steeler connected with Ali on a religious level.
