Brian Pillman's son featured, football performance turning heads, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh comments on the similarities between father and son

The son of late pro wrestler Brian Pillman is featured in a Cincinnati.com article. Brian Pillman is a senior football player for Dixie Heights in Ohio and admitted that he's nervous about his high school career concluding. "It’s scary, because I love football and I love the camaraderie of it," Pillman said. "I really don’t want to lose it. I’m going to play as hard as I can to survive and keep us going as far as we can get."

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has taken an active role in Pillman's life and praised his football ability. "It’s amazing," Harbaugh said. "He has that same nose guard stance as his dad, and he’s quick and ferocious. He’s built similarly. Their mannerisms are the same. It’s uncanny." To read the full story, visit NKY.Cincinnati.com.
