James Conner ... the receiver

There's been some buzz this week surrounding Pitt running back James Conner and his ability not only be a star running back, but also potentially lining up as a receiver.

"We have sets with three running backs on the field," Narduzzi said. "We may line James up wide."

...

"How'd you like to tackle James on a bubble?" Narduzzi said. "Throw him out there and let those corners try to tackle a big guy. And he can catch. He's not a guy who can't catch the football."

Part of this is that Pitt has a great deal of flexibility here with their current roster.
