A Letter From the Editor: Franco Harris was so much more than one play

I was born in 1983. That means I was one when Franco Harris decided to call it a career after his brief stint with the Seattle Seahawks in 1984.

I never saw Harris play a snap of football, but I know plenty about him, and his career.

Growing up in a household who all rooted for the Pittsburgh Steelers, you knew the names of the greats, whether you were alive to see them play or not.

Jack Lambert, “Mean” Joe Greene, L.C. Greenwood, Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, and, of course, Franco Harris.
