It’s impossible not to like Steelers running back, James Conner. From his incredible journey to overcome cancer to his Pittsburgh roots, he is a player that fans from any team can get behind.
While Conner was voted to the Pro Bowl a season ago and is no doubt a fan favorite, Benny Snell’s recent surge in play shows exactly why most running backs shouldn’t receive a big second contract – including James Conner.
Conner was an excellent replacement for Le’Veon Bell last season after the two-time All-Pro running back decided to sit out the year and await his new contract with a different franchise.
