James Conner hit headlines when his jersey was declared the highest-selling among rookies this summer. With Steelers camp underway, the rookie’s star keeps rising.
The Steelers’ third-round pick beat cancer last year and is now ready to take on the NFL. Before he hit the field for the first practice of Training Camp, he spoke to reporters.
“It’s surreal finally being in an NFL training camp, and I made this team, and just do my best, and soak it all in, work hard and just try to be successful in every aspect,” Conner said.
Conner is getting plenty of carries with Le’Veon Bell absent from camp, focused on learning the Steelers’ playbook, Conner knows it will be a big opportunity to open some eyes.
