It’s been a good few days for Pittsburgh Steelers running backs, current and former. While Le’Veon Bell learned that he was finally going to have the opportunity come next month to be an unrestricted free agent, both his successor and one of his predecessors were honored at the Dapper Dan Awards for the city of Pittsburgh, which the former will no longer represent.
James Conner received the Sportsman of the Year Award, while Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis received the Lifetime Achievement Award, for which former Steelers players have been a popular choice for recipient in recent years.
