Zack FurnessMy dad got drafted to the Steelers the same year as Franco Harris and they played there together until 1981. When I co-edited a book on the NFL in 2014, I was happy to include a revised version of Nicholas P. Ciotola's essay on Franco's Italian Army and ethnic identity: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1URC21oii2-BpxKjapiLXlDAviZrKK-g0/view

Reminded me of those glory days!
I was in college in western PA then. The #Steelers have always been on my short list of #NFL teams because of #FrancoHarris.
