Steelers' James Conner Posts Video Surprising Father with New Car

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner surprised his father, Glen Conner Sr., with a new GMC truck Saturday:

Conner became the Steelers' starting running back before the 2018 NFL season. The Erie, Pennsylvania, native has amassed 2,185 yards from scrimmage and 20 touchdowns in 23 games since.

The ex-Pitt star was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma in 2015 during his junior season. He underwent chemotherapy and was declared cancer-free in June 2016.

Conner then returned for his senior season and gained 1,394 scrimmage yards and scored 20 touchdowns.
