The Pittsburgh Steelers already have themselves a few running backs who are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There was John Henry Johnson, who was followed by Franco Harris, and then Jerome Bettis followed years later. Had he not sabotaged his future with the Steelers, perhaps Le’Veon Bell would have been the next in line, eventually, perhaps a decade or so from now.
One of his backups for a couple of years, however, is about to make it into a Hall himself—specifically the Conference USA Hall of Fame, whose inaugural class later this year will include former Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams, who was instantly adopted by Pittsburgh despite only playing two seasons there following a long career with the Carolina Panthers.
