The advent of social media has opened a whole can of worms for the NFL. While some players avoid social media or opt to have a third party manage their pages, others will post their own content. Sometimes that content can be unsavory. Pittsburgh Steelers S DeShon Elliott found himself in hot water recently due to a post on his Instagram page.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just not trying to get canceled, bro,\u201d Elliott said via Marlon Humphrey\u2019s Punch Line Podcast, recapping his recent troubles on social media. \u201cI\u2019ve said some wild things here the last couple of weeks, bro. I\u2019m trying to keep my image together. I put out this one post. This meme account had tagged me and T.J. Watt in this account, and it was a picture of Coach [Mike] Tomlin on the face of Osama Bin Laden.<\/p>\n

\u201cI put it in our group message because I thought it was funny. I put it in my dump [on Instagram]. Me, I genuinely post what I want to post. I say what I want to say. I didn\u2019t think it was going to get any backlash because it was funny. Then all of a sudden it blew up everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
