Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner proved himself to be an NFL commodity during the 2018 season as the University of Pittsburgh product registered nearly 1,500 total yards from scrimmage and 13 total touchdowns as the team’s starter last season. Conner’s great sophomore season was punctuated with him being voted to his first Pro Bowl. With the 2019 regular season quickly approaching, it was revealed Thursday night that Conner is rankled 62nd overall on the annual NFL Network Top 100 list.
Conner’s great second season in the NFL came courtesy of running back Le’Veon Bell deciding to sit out the entire 2018 season instead of playing under the franchise tag he received from the Steelers.
