PITTSBURGH -- James Conner started Pittsburgh Steelers training camp with an understated, basic mullet: short in the front and bushy in the back.
Now that Conner is a starting NFL tailback replacing an absent All-Pro, his hair elicits social media reaction -- especially after he added two tiger stripes through the middle of his head to accompany the mullet for Sunday's game at Cleveland.
After 192 yards on 36 touches in place of Le'Veon Bell, who's sitting out with an unsigned franchise tag, Conner plans to push the creative boundaries with each game.
