The Pittsburgh Steelers have a storied history at the running back position. Long known for their brand of power football and physicality, the position offers up perhaps the greatest single play in not only team history but league history, in the form of Franco Harris’ “Immaculate Reception.” From Harris to Jerome Bettis, to the longest run in Super Bowl history courtesy of Willie Parker, the position seems to go hand-in-hand with the franchise the way peanut butter goes with jelly.
A few seasons ago, the team had a dual talent at that spot in Le’Veon Bell that some argue, if he would’ve maintained his pace in Pittsburgh instead of chasing money, was bound for the halls of Canton.
