Franco Harris Dies At 72

[ProfessorGAC]

Just seen on ESPN. Right on the cusp of the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception.
RIP

[True Dough]

1. 13 NFL seasons

All the with Steelers, except the last one with the Seattle Seahawks (how many people knew that?).

He broke 1,000 yards rushing in 8 of those seasons. Add 2,287 career receiving yards, but the Immaculate Reception is the one he'll remain forever famous for.

RIP!

2. Awww.

He graduated from my high school in Mt. Holly, NJ, before I was there. I was cheerleader for his younger brother, Pete.

Every year, we got the day off and had a parade in town, everyone marching through town in our uniforms. I think it was on his birthday, but can't really remember. They actually called it Franco Harris Day.

RIP, Franco.
