Business as usual for Pitt running back James Conner

Okay, so things aren't exactly normal for Pitt star running back James Conner as he continues to battle his way through chemotherapy treatments from his Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosis. But in reality, he's doing everything to keep it as normal as possible.

In case you've not yet seen it, here's a video posted by head coach Pat Narduzzi a few days ago of Conner absolutely working his butt off.

It's refreshing to see Conner out there doing drills and obviously working hard. We all know about his work ethic but I have to admit that I was even astonished by this:

Conner participates in about 90-95 percent of the same workouts his teammates do, refusing to let his cancer change his life.
