Training camp is an exciting time of year for NFL fans, but fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers may have even more to look forward to this time of year. Not only do they get unique access to players at Saint Vincent College, but they also get to see a new class inducted into the Steelers Hall of Honor. This year’s class brings loads of excitement, including former running back Willie Parker getting the call. Once an undrafted free agent, Parker became a legend in Super Bowl XL, rushing for a 75-yard touchdown. Based on some comments from Art Rooney II, it seems people knew Parker would be special early in his NFL career.
