For as storied a career as he may have had, it’s fair to say that former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis isn’t one who lives in the past. Not only has he pursued entrepreneurial opportunities during his post-playing career, he even recently returned to Notre Dame to complete his college degree, almost two decades after retiring.
Indeed, even when it comes to football, he’s more likely to talk about the current state of the Steelers, and of running back Najee Harris, rather than himself and his own playing career—unless it gets brought up. He was asked on Total Access on the NFL Network if he watches his old highlights, for example.
