James Conner will be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ backup running back to Le’Veon Bell this season, as he was last year. Will it be any different from the 2017 season, in which he hardly played in large part simply because Bell logs so many snaps?
The second-year player is hoping to take the answer into his own hands. If he simply plays as well as he possibly can, he believes that he can show the coaching staff that he deserves to get his snaps and that it will be to the team’s benefit to give him the opportunity to play.
