Pat McAfee On What Franco Harris Meant To Pittsburgh & The NFL

Even as a Ravens fan I always respected that Steel Curtain era, they were the archetype for the modern Ravens. Rest in peace Franco, damn shame he won't have his moment.

Franco Harris will be remembered as one of the greatest miracle play legends in league history! Everyone will still remember his “Immaculate Reception“ that happened a half century ago!

I love listening to Pat talk about Pittsburgh. He gets us because he is one of us.

RIP Franco Harris

From a Ravens fan, Not just a steelers legend but a NFL Legend. Rip Mr. Harris

RIP Franco.....we loved you as more than a player, but a great human. I remember meeting him at an Eat-n-Park in Beaver Falls PA when I was 10. He stayed until every autograph was signed. Yinzer Legend

My family moved from Italy to Canada, seeing someone with Italian haritage dominate the great american sport they instantly fell in love. Now we're 3 generations deep of Steelers & Pittsburgh fans, all thanks to Franco

I was at Penn State when Franco and Lydell was the backfield. I shot poll with Lydell and his 'tutor' [who I went to high school with] and met Franco because of Lydell. The first thing I remember about Franco was his smile. Me, a nobody, and Franco treated me like I was a member of the football team smiling the whole time. So when the Steelers drafted Franco, I was over the moon because I knew Franco would be solid...little did I know how solid! I remember the Immaculate Reception like it just happened [and the controversy mostly pushed by Al Davis and 'motormouth' Madden...can you tell I didn't like the Raiders - still don't] And was I ever pissed at the Steelers in 1984 when they waivered Franco - I called the Rooney's ever name in the book. When I heard about Franco passing...a piece of my heart said bye-bye. I know Franco is now flying with his Mom and Dad. I wish Franco's Wife Dana and son "Dok" many blessings in this very trying moment. May this weekend be a celebration of greatness Franco Harris gave to the Steelers and Steeler Nation!

Madden's last words on his deathbed were......"That ball hit the ground"......🤣

If Franco wasn’t injured the Steelers would have had five rings In the 70’s. The 76 team had the greatest defense in history but lost bc Franco got injured.
