It seemed as though all of the attention entering Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans was on their running back, the NFL’s leading rusher and reigning rushing champion, Derrick Henry. While that is an understandable concern, and the Pittsburgh Steelers paid quite a bit of attention to it entering the game, he wasn’t the only Pro Bowl running back in the game.
And it was almost as though he knew that, and wanted to remind people of that fact. James Conner was a Pro Bowler in 2018, scoring 13 touchdowns in 13 games, but he went through a series of injuries last season that made many kind of forget what kind of player he is capable of being.
