YouTube star Fred Beyer pulled off an outrageous stunt at the NFL Draft last week after storming the stage and announcing a fake pick for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Beyer, 24, shared a behind-the-scenes vlog of his night at the Draft in Pittsburgh, which ended with him being escorted out by police officers and receiving an indefinite ban from all NFL events.
After explaining how he sneaked into an exclusive area at Acrisure Stadium, which involved printing out fake credentials, the prankster is eventually seen strolling on stage in between picks and addressing the crowd.
He initially started announcing ‘the 67th pick’ for the Steelers on the mic before members of the production team cut off the sound.
Beyer, who has over two million subscribers on YouTube, then stood at the front of the stage and shouted at the top of his voice that the Steelers had picked ‘Luke Maxer’ – seemingly a reference to fellow influencer Clavicular’s ‘looksmaxxing’ catchphrase.
Panicked security guards quickly intervened and dragged him off stage, before he was taken to one side and grilled over his actions.

One official is heard asking him in the vlog: ‘Why did you think you could go up there?’
‘Cause I wanted Luke Maxer to get drafted by the Steelers,’ Beyer replied.
‘No, that doesn’t work,’ the official told him.
Beyer had his credentials taken before police officers on duty at the Draft were called over.
Two cops eventually escorted him out of the arena, at which point he was handed a letter from the NFL informing him of his suspension.
‘The ban is league-wide and will be enforced rigorously,’ the letter read. ‘Should you be found at any NFL game or event, law enforcement will be summoned and you will be arrested.
‘We sincerely hope that you will take this opportunity to reflect on your actions.’
Incredibly, after being led out of the premises, the two police officers both asked to get a photo with Beyer.
