Terry Bradshaw Remembers Franco Harris, a Hall of Fame Player, Teammate and Friend

The running back stood out, even among other integral members of the Steelers’ dynasty, for who he was on and off the field.

Franco Harris left plenty of plays for people to pick from, and most, in remembering him, would probably choose the one he made as a rookie on Dec. 23, 1972, in Pittsburgh.

But that’s not the one Terry Bradshaw wanted to talk about Wednesday morning.

His was 93 tackle trap. Bradshaw actually called it personally, because that’s how it worked with quarterbacks in those days. And like the Immaculate Reception, it ended with Harris crossing the goal line in a Steelers playoff win—this one for the franchise’s third championship in Super Bowl XIII.
