Horrible news. Praying for his recovery.

Great player - poor kid can't catch a break. Good news is it is very treatable.

Just read somewhere that Narduzzi truly believes that he'll be back in uniform and playing for the '16 season. Sure hope so.

Pitt running back James Conner named winner of Disney Sports Spirit Award.

Conner wrote an open letter to NFL GM's about how he wants to be seen heading into the draft. It is really an excellent read.

Drafted by the Steelers. So awesome. First jersey purchase for me since high school

I may be anti-Steelers, but I love this story. Since the Browns, Bengals and Ravens all have Browns roots I get to root against the Steelers with feeling six times a year. (unfortunately lately they seem to go 2-4 in those games). But maybe with Conner I'll root against them just a little bit less.

It's a wonderful story that demonstrates the kind of class the Rooney's have always demonstrated. He will have a tremendous opportunity in Pittsburgh.
