Let me first start off by addressing my intentions. I am not here to talk about James Conner’s ability or lack of ability to stay on the field. His durability issues have been talked about enough. What I am hoping to do is remind everyone what exactly Conner can do when he is on the field and why it may be too early to throw in the towel on him.
Now, obviously Conner did not have the 2019 season that he likely envisioned; in fact many members of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense can likely say the same. Whether due to injuries, poor quarterback play or a possible regression from the offensive line, the numbers just were not there for Conner.
