Hall of Fame RB Jerome Bettis joined ESPN’s First Take Wednesday to discuss the life of fellow Hall of Famer Franco Harris, who died Wednesday morning at 72 years old. Speaking with Stephen A. Smith and Chris Russo, Bettis remembered the man Harris was.
“I remember Franco as just a wonderful individual,” Bettis told the show. “He knew how to welcome you in. He was such a huge figure but he knew how to just ingratiate himself with you to make you feel comfortable. Because you knew you were talking to a legend. But everyday he was so kind, generous.
