Steelers' James Conner: Stays in Pittsburgh

The Steelers selected Conner in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 105th overall.

The Pittsburgh product never had to leave town, and the Steelers get a fine off-the-bench power runner behind starter Le'Veon Bell. It's possible that they could even groom Conner (6-foot-1, 233 pounds) for some fullback looks to get both players on the field at once. Conner overcome Hodgkins lymphoma and a torn MCL from 2015 to return to the field in 2016, and he came back with a leaner build and improved pass-catching skills. Conner doesn't look like a standout talent and won't have much opportunity to produce behind Bell, but he's probably talented enough to produce if Bell should miss any time. Conner finished his Pittsburgh career with 3,733 yards (5.6 YPC) and 52 touchdowns in 39 career games.
