April Fools’ Day is upon us, and plenty of famous players and teams are getting in on the action with some good-natured pranking. Here are some of the most viral posts from around the sports world Saturday.

The Steelers have apparently added to their wide receiver room with a late free agency add of Calvin Broadus Jr., who confirmed the signing himself on Twitter.

The Chargers combined the two on Saturday.
There is a whole (since deleted) treasure trove of Price’s early tweets from @Chargers as well:
