James Conner Recognizes Steelers’ Preference Is To Work Out Of Shotgun

It’s no secret the Pittsburgh Steelers are in shotgun more than pretty much any other team in the NFL. And James Conner made it clear in his ideal world, there would be a lot more I-Form, under center snaps. Offenses revolve around the quarterback, not the running back, so Conner has learned to adapt.

Joining the Pat McAfee Show Tuesday, Conner was asked if the team will be under center more in 2020.

“With Ben being back there, he likes being in shotgun,” Conner said. “So that’s the offense. I gotta adapt. I like being in I and going downhill and running fast.
