'Who Was Steve Jobs?' Michael Oher Asks Twitter...From His iPhone

BALTIMORE (WJZ) --  When it was announced Steve Jobs died Wednesday evening, many people turned to social media to mourn his passing.  Not Michael Oher, though.  He turned to Twitter to get answers, and he sure got them and some flak, too.

The Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman didn't know who Steve Jobs was.

"Can somebody help me out? Who was Steve Jobs!" he tweeted.

Naturally, Oher posted the curious tweet from where else: his iPhone.

After it got on Deadspin and people started answering him, Oher didn't believe people really knew who Jobs was.

"Wow you mean to tell me everybody knew who he was!!  Man get real so many fake ppl! Lol," Oher tweeted.

Oher is the football player whose life was portrayed in the movie, "The Blind Side."
