Jordin Sparks isn’t just a platinum selling singer, she’s also a pretty big football fan. She’s performed the National Anthem at multiple games, including the Super Bowl and notoriously watches any and every tilt she can. Part of that probably has to due with the fact Phillippi Sparks who spent parts of nine seasons in the NFL with the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys.
Still, Sparks is among the biggest NFL celebrity fans and is extremely knowledgeable about the sport as well, recently giving praise to Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell who put up 204 rushing yards on Monday night.
Impressed, Jordin Sparks tweeted out her applause for Le’Veon Bell and not shockingly word got back to the Pittsburgh Steelers talent who then tweeted her back.
Le'Veon Bell is just a beast. Titans D cannot contain him. 😳

Perhaps star struck, Bell also re-tweeted what Sparks said about him.

Everything seemed to be going okay until that last tweet which came across a little thirsty. Yes, we figured out that Jordin Sparks was a fan of your play Le’Veon. You didn’t need to remind us for the seventh time.
On the plus side, at least Le’Veon Bell learned from some of his counterparts and didn’t attempt to ask Sparks to exchange direct messages with him.
