Punter Wing celebrates 'Hug an Australian Day' in streets of Pittsburgh

Steelers punter Brad Wing is proud to be an Australian, especially on April 26 when it's "Hug an Australian Day." Wing didn't get much love from his teammates, so he decided to take his chances on the streets of Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Wing looks like your average Joe out there, so it's no surprise he wasn't recognized much even with a camera crew from Steelers.com in tow. While there may have been a few unwilling participants at first, all Wing had to do was tell them about his day job to persuade them to open their arms.

Don't forget to hug an Aussie today. #NationalHugAnAustralianDay
