    Connor looks like a beast to replace him though.

    Win our division and not worry about playoff spot.

    Andre Davis and Danial Manning were the best we ever had, and that was just kickoff returners. I don't think ever had a solid punt returner, maybe J.J. Moses...maybe.

    That Will Fuller PR for a TD a couple of seasons ago was pretty damn nice. The fact that I can vividly remember a random punt return from 2 freaking seasons ago should tell you how bad we've been at the position for damn near a decade.

    Haha! I remember that. Do they not stick Fuller back there because he is so injury prone?

    Like him or not he’s still by far the best returner this franchise has ever had

    TJ Yates throwing 3 picks in that game didn’t help either.

    I've been on the Conner train for like five years. Watched the kid play when he was a DE in high school. I will be disappointed if he's not a Pro Bowler.

    If he didn't get cancer, he truly may have been a first round pick.

    I'll say that I live in a decent swath of Steelers country. The town that Conner grew up in. It seems that most people are angry at Bell, but genuinely excited to see what Conner can do.

    I just wish the Texans had drafted him. I said that for a year and a half leading up to last year's draft.

    The Steelers are not going away.

    Oh I remember your draft Conner crusade during the offseason. LOL. We went and got Foreman, which was turning into a steal in the third but that damn injury bug.

    Yep. I think he had me sold on Wentz too. Back when he was a 2nd or 3rd round draft prospect.

    Probably not, I mean, he'll eventually show up so that he gets credit for the season just like Duane Brown did, but I hope they don't trade him and just let him ride the bench for the rest of the season over being a b****.

    Jerome was good for 1 season and flamed out. Jermaine was good before he came to us, did ok his 1 season with us, but there were flashes. He flamed out also after that.

    We've had good returners, but they were stuck with our shitty special teams. Special teams has always been the **** of the franchise.

    I've had a lot of misses, too.


    Thought Juice Williams was going to be a great pro out of Illinois, six or eight years back. Lol!
