Sad news today.  He was one of my favorites.

My brother was at Penn State while Harris was there.  he actually did some of Harris' homework (for money) for him.  What a great team that was, with an backfield of Lydell Mitchell and Franco Harris.  Funny thing was, Mitchell was the 'star' at Penn State and Harris was second fiddle.  But he turned into the HOF player in the pros.  Mike Reid, Denny Onkotz, and Jack Ham were also on that team at one time or another.  Harris actually made me somewhat of a Steelers fan for about 20 years.

Nice!

Passes away 2 days shy of the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception game. I remember watching it on a little black and white TV. RIP.
