"This was like Christmas meets my birthday at the Super Bowl," the singer wrote on Facebook. He also shared photos of himself meeting Najee Harris and throwing up a "rock on" sign in front of fans.
On social media, Glazer joked that it was "bring your kid to work day," so he invited Michaels to training camp. Michaels said it was "a good day" -- the team looked great, the fans were awesome and he's excited for the new season.

Michaels wasn't the first celebrity appearance at St. Vincent College this year. Ciara stopped by to watch her husband quarterback Russell Wilson practice last week.
