Will 2020 be the last time the running back suits up for the Pittsburgh Steelers?
When the Pittsburgh Steelers added James Conner to their roster with a third-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, they likely weren’t expecting to use him in a featured role just two years into his tenure with the team.
But thanks to Le’Veon Bell sitting out the entire 2018 season, Conner was given the job as the Steelers’ top running back. He took advantage of his increase in opportunities and in 13 games for Pittsburgh in 2018 he ended up accumulating a total of 1,470 yards (973 rushing, 497 receiving) and 13 touchdowns.
