1000 yard seasons meant something back then. He was a truck, fit the steel mill persona perfectly. Of course they had some gooid OL blocking then too.

Larry Brown,Sam Davis, Jim Clack were other fixtures on that OL- great at BOTH run and pass blocking.
RIP legend.

Four Super Bowls and 12,000 yards. I still remember the Immaculate Reception like it was yesterday. And I was a big Steelers fan that day. I stayed a Steelers fan until 1979. Franco was a great guy as well. He was 72 years of age.
Saw it on TV live as well. I loved those Steeler teams because they always beat the Raiders as they did there.
Can't believe Franco just died. He was on the radio just the other day talking about this immaculate reception.

I think it was the last time San Diego hosted the Super Bowl I met Franco Harris. They had closed off the streets in the Gaslamp, myself and a couple of my buddies were walking down the street. First thing I noticed was how tall he was, 6'. We had a conversation with him and his buddies. He was very approachable and smiling, chatting with everyone that said hello. He invited me and my buddies into one of the clubs he had access to. Had a few drinks and some really good laughs. Really good guy.
