As many of you are now aware, Steelers’ Nation truly lost one of its brightest stars today with the sudden passing of Hall Of Fame running back Franco Harris at age 72. The Immaculate Reception, regarded by many as the greatest play in the storied history of the NFL, was his calling card, as well as helping lead the dynastic Steelers to four Super Bowl victories in the 1970s.
Sportscaster Chris Berman, around the sports world for as long as just about anyone, joined ESPN’s Get Up Monday Morning to talk Harris’ legacy.
“Franco, for all the superstars and you’ve met a ton, we all have, was about the most humble, decent, kind, giving, much more than this brute of a running back,” Chris “Boomer” Berman told host Mike Greenberg.
