I want this kid cancer free. If he dresses next year, that is secondary. I would love for him to play obviously and then be able to fulfill his dream in the nfl
It is a quite choking up experience is it not to read???
Hope you create a New Banner made of Paper that the entire Team can Run Through It with James Conner leading them at Pitt Games, especially for the Penn State Game, it could unite the Stadium with nothing but cheers from all Fans at the Reunited Rival Game?
You did a great job at Military Bowl and Thank You!

Thanks MrGee, I corrected the Link! If anyone heard and read anything on James Conner Press Conference and his determination to work so hard to beat cancer there can be no doubt his courage, focus, and conditioning under his UPMC Pitt Doctors and Pitt Football Trainers Staff and Himself is something to believe in, and I believed James Conners when he said..........
"When I heard those words--`You have cancer'--I admit I was scared," Conner said. "But after thinking about it for a bit, I realized that fear is a choice. I choose to not fear cancer. I choose to fight it and I will win. "One year ago today I was asking myself, `Why me?' Why was I the lucky one to be getting the ACC Player of the Year award when I had so many teammates who deserved it as much as me? Now one year later, instead of asking, `Why me?' I am saying, `Why not me?' I can beat cancer. "I know there are so many people in the world who were told by their doctors this week that they also have cancer. I want them to know that together we can--and will--beat cancer. "I will play football again. I will be at Heinz Field again. I have the best coaches and teammates in the country. I thank God I chose Pitt because now I also have the best doctors in the country and together we will win. I know this city has my back."
....Pitt head football coach Pat Narduzzi said he has no doubt that Conner will triumph over this adversity. "It has been almost a year since I first met James and I've learned many things about him during that time," Narduzzi said. "Yes, he is a talented football player, but more importantly he is an exceptional person. Being an athlete is just a small fraction of who he is. James cares deeply about others. He is invested in his community and helping people in need. "Know this: James Conner will not face this challenge alone. We are all going to be right beside him every step of the way. And the day that he is declared cancer free, we will all celebrate like we do after one of his patented touchdown runs. James has never backed down from an opponent and we all know this is a battle he will win."

James will win and everyone at Heinz will be there to cheer when it happens, not a doubt or hope in my mind, just ConnerStrong!

James is an incredible young man. The only thing that surpasses his ability on the football field is his character. He's always helped other people, so I was glad to be able to organize the banner signing so Pitt fans could show support to him. As I've previously mentioned it was a great experience for all of us. We got way more out of it than we put in.
