September 18, 2015 - Sami Wilhite 1114 viewsSami Wilhite makes another appearance on Benâ€™s site â€“ Samiâ€™s first appearance was on July 23, 2012 when we shared her photo with Ben for our training camp info post. She was back again in December of 2013 for a Steeler Nation post, and more recently, you may remember the birthday shout-out we did for her in April of this year (which included a special email from Ben when he saw it on his website).

Well, she is back with a fun story and some more great photos to share with us:

â€œThe picture I sent you of me and Ben was from training camp in August. I was able to get his attention with the picture collage that you made for me and I was able to get him to sign it. Ben saw it and I said, â€œThank you for the birthday email,â€ and he said, â€œThat was you?!â€ and he signed the collage I had enlarged. I then asked him for his arm band and he actually gave it to me.

My dad and I made his Findlay helmet and I was able to get Ben to sign that too.

We now have 10 full size â€œBenâ€ helmets: His throwback yellow, two Miami Redhawks, Benâ€™s Pro Bowl, Super Bowl 40 & 43, â€œThe Renegadesâ€ from Batman movie, his rookie helmet, and the Speed helmet Ben is wearing now.

But the coolest thing was getting my collage signed that you made me, and also the Miami helmet we made!â€ â€“ Sami
