The Pittsburgh Steelers honored legendary RB Franco Harris before Saturday’s preseason game against the Buffalo Bills by unveiling his retired jersey number display. Harris’ wife Dana and his son Dok were on hand for the ceremony, and both will serve as honorary captains for Saturday’s game.
Steelers owner Art Rooney II had some kind words for Harris during the ceremony.
“Welcome everyone to a very special day at Acrisure Stadium,” he said in video carried out by the team’s YouTube channel. “I know Franco has a special place in our hearts. He always will. I know Franco would say that his jersey would not be retired without so many great teammates of the seventies.
