Return of James Conner

Superstar back James Conner has returned to the Pittsburgh team after a nightmarish fall of 2015. After rushing for 1,765y and a whopping 26 TDs in 2014 (and beating out Jameis Winston for ACC player of the year), Conner entered camp last summer as one of the very best running backs in the country. But a torn MCL in week one knocked Conner out for the season and then in December he was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. Conner was not afraid of work and rehabbed the knee while battling the lymphoma to the point that Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi announced that not only was his star returning to the team but that he would play in 2016. It is easy rooting for this kid.
