Another Pitt Alumnus ready to be near Pitt Recruits & Players at Heinz and UPMC, what an inspiration he is going to be for Pitt Recruits!
Excerpt:
Pitt's James Conner completed the cycle of his storybook football career Friday night when the Steelers brought him back to where it started. The Steelers, who share their South Side practice facility with Pitt, drafted Conner with their compensatory pick in the third round (No. 105), fulfilling a dream he held long before he matriculated to Pitt in 2013........Conner will get an opportunity to back up Steelers Pro Bowl running back Le'Veon Bell.............Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward tweeted a greeting to Conner shortly after he was drafted.“Heck yea! Welcome, come across to the other side.”
