Franco’s Birthday

The Pittsburgh Steelers remembered and honored the late Franco Harris on what would’ve been his 74th birthday. The team tweeted this photo with accompanying message of Harris Thursday morning.

Harris died in December 2022, days before his jersey was retired by the Steelers, only the third player in team history to receive such an honor. A four-time Super Bowl champ, Harris made the most iconic play in football history with his Immaculate Reception to beat the Oakland Raiders in the 1972 playoffs.
