Franco Harris was one of the most notable players in NFL history -- along with one of the greatest. The recipient of the "Immaculate Reception" -- voted as the the greatest play in NFL history -- at the age of 72.Harris helped the to four Super Bowl titles in the 1970s, finishing a Hall of Fame career with 12,120 rushing yards and 91 rushing touchdowns in 13 seasons. He also finished with 14,407 yards from scrimmage and 100 touchdowns, making the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 1990. Harris earned nine Pro Bowl selections, was selected as a First Team All-Pro in 1977 and was a Second Team All-Pro twice (1972, 1975). He also led the NFL in rushing touchdowns in 1976.Harris died the week he was set to have his number retired by the Steelers, just the third player in franchise history to Adolis García Jersey hold that distinction. Ernie Stautner (70) and Joe Greene (75) are the only two Steelers to have their numbers retired, although Pittsburgh hasn't i sued the No. 32 since Harris last played for the Steelers in 1982.How much did Franco Harris mean to Joey Gallo Jersey the Steelers? The quote from current president Art Rooney II says it all. "My Grandfather was once quoted as saying: 'Before Franco got here, we didn't win much, since he got here, we don't lose.' I think that sums it up pretty good."This week's "By The Numbers" pays tribute to Harris and his greatne s.Walter Payton -- 13,309Jim Brown -- 12,312Franco Harris -- 12,120O.J.

The Steelers franchise changed since Harris arrived in Pittsburgh in 1972. Coming off eight consecutive losing seasons, Pittsburgh didn Shelby Miller Jersey 't have a losing record in any of the 12 seasons Harris was there. The Steelers only had seven winning seasons as a franchise prior to 1972, making the playoffs just once in their history.The "Immaculate Reception" was the first postseason victory in Steelers franchise history -- and the Steelers started in 1933.
