The NFL world lost an absolute legend in Franco Harris this week when he died at the age of 72.
Harris is a legend when it comes to the game of football, of course. But he’s something more than that when it comes to the Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh.
He gave that team his all and from that came so many big moments, including the legendary immaculate reception.
Considering all that, it makes perfect sense that the Steelers would honor him in a special way this week. And the players did such an awesome thing to pay homage to the legend.
Players wore Franco Harris jerseys to the game and it was so cool.
