Willie Parker, an undrafted free-agent out of North Carolina, had the unenviable task of following in the footsteps of the legendary Jerome Bettis. However, he made his mark during his short time as Pittsburgh's starting running back--including a memorable day against the Saints in 2006.
I was always a fan of Willie Parker, an undrafted free-agent out of North Carolina who played for the Steelers from 2004-2009.
I admired Parker, the super-fast running back dubbed "Fast Willie," for taking on the unenviable task of following in the footsteps of future Hall of Famer and Steelers icon, Jerome Bettis.
