Bill Burr Reacts to Steelers Doppelganger
The Pittsburgh Steelers punter got some recognition from Bill Burr.
PITTSBURGH -- Depending on if you're a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers or comedy, you'd say either Cameron Johnston or Bill Burr has a doppelganger. And with jokes flying all over the place since the Steelers signed Johnston to a three-year deal, making him their new punter, Burr has given his reaction to the two looking alike.
During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, Burr was asked if he's seen the comparisons to him and Johnston.
"Oh yeah, I've seen that guy," Burr said. "It's scary. I concur. The guy definitely looks like me."
He then added, "would've been cooler if he was a quarterback."
Having a look-a-like in the NFL is pretty interesting in its self, but Burr is probably right that punter might be the least-famous position outside of long snapper. Still, Johnston and Burr are a headline that fans should love, and those in Pittsburgh should be hoping it draws Burr to a few games this season, maybe taking him away from his Boston fandom.
The Steelers inked Johnston to a three-year, $9 million deal, replacing Pressley Harvin III. Last season, he averaged 47 yards per punt and landed 30 inside the 20-yard line.
