When I was a kid growing up in the 1970's Franco Harris rank up with the great athletes of that decade. Rest In Peace Franco!
I was lucky enough to have grown up in Pittsburgh. I lived close to Franco. I was his morning paperboy. Great memories. I even played little league baseball o a field of astroturf donated by the Pittsburgh organization starting back in 1971
The one and only Franco Harris. Immaculate reception! Immaculate running back.
Franco may not have been the fastest. But he could reach top speed in so few steps that he was a juggernaut.
I was trying to observe it. He was big and nimble that stop and start quickness with a bit shifty in the hips. Also a patient runner but he made guys miss. What do you think what was his style of running?
Sorta reminds me of Derrick Henry
@@LZYDOG He had good swivel of his hips which threw off players. He also like bigger shoulder pads.
Good vision on the field and patience. I see a bit of Henry in him a bit Emmit Smith also
Rest In Peace the Immaculate Reception truly changed the Steelers organization forever!
Gone but will never be forgotten Rest In Peace Franco Harris
R.I.P. FRANCO thanks for the memories
December 21st: Franco Harris (1950-2022)-1972 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, rushing touchdowns leader, All Pro, 9 x Pro Bowl, 4 x Super Bowl Champion, Super Bowl MVP, Pro Football Hall of Fame, NFL Man of the Year. Thank you for the thrills. RIP

Franco Harris
(In no particular order)
The 3 best and toughest power backs I ever had the privilege to watch play in the NFL.
RIP Franco.
Thank you for posting and great edit. Franco was a tremendous player especially in the big games when it really counts. He came up with the goods time and again. "The "immaculate reception"... Still gives me goosebumps. One of the greatest moments captured on film in NFL history. Franco running down the sideline -- he did that. Awesome!
As a Cowboys fan, he was a thorn in the side, but later on I learned to really appreciate his style of play. I’m thankful to have been watching football at that time; It really was the best years for the NFL and it has never been the same since. Thank you, Franco for the memories.
Franco was the reason I became a Steelers fan. I remember him breaking Jim Brown's record of 7 1000yd seasons. He broke it against the Los Angeles Rams. When he retired,he was a Seahawk but he'll forever be a Steelers legend.
I used to watch NFL football because of him.
Great running back !!!
I could watch 1000 times….
R.I.P.: Franco Harris 😢😢😢😢
The Greatest Running Back of the 70's., bar none!
Sad news today that Franco Harris has
passed away. A Football Giant in the NFL. Rest in Peace.
Oh , the memories 😍there's my boys🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛Penn State Alum 💛Pittsburgh STEELERS HOF🖤💛Franco Harris #32
The epitome of class and decency off the field and professionalism on it. One of the finest players the NFL has seen. His loss hurts. It was much too soon. Grateful for the terrific memories Franco.
My family has been Cincy Bengals season ticket holders since 1968, I've seen Franco play since his rookie year and he was always a feared runner. Helluva player and classy guy. It's so sad he died suddenly. He was the force behind those great Pittsburgh Super Bowl teams.
You will always be in Steelers' fan's hearts, Franco.
What a BEAST!
Crazy to think this guy was a full back
Fullback back then was basically another Runningback, now Fullback is more of a blocker.
@@georgemcfly3482 fullbacks were runners back then man, it was a different type of game back then
In the Steelers offense he was basically used as a halfback alot
Thanks for the memories Franco Harris.RIP!!
LEGEND. I am so glad I got to see him play as a kid. RIP
Should post more old player highlights like this!
Absolute legend ❤
Mi idolo extraordinario jugador.
Great field awareness. Great football player
He DID catch it out of the air!! Double yoy!!!
RIP Franco. A hero forever in our hearts.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANCO

Rest In Peace Franco Harris
RIP, Franco...
Funny - I watched Franco's entire NFL career and I dont think I ever saw him really run over someone with that big body. He was one of the biggest backs in the game. He had to be the biggest, slowest finesse back ever. I did enjoy watching him run though.
How was he objectively slow in terms of his game play speed when he produced long td runs during his career ,and Franco ran through tackles as oppose to running over defenders ,check several of those situations in this highlite reel , I don't recall other Hof b.lsrge sized RB's such as Csonka ,Riggins ,having the outstanding vision and elusiveness that Franco possessed ,that rarified ability to routinely create a opening sling the line when none was available by bouncing it out then sharply cutting it back or utilizing his talent to get too top speed on the first or second step, or make defendersiss with his loose hips ,shoulder wiggle , quick feet moves ,Franco was the definition of a halfback runner .Nothing about Franco was slow ,or lacking inthe ability to get yardage with physical ,running ,he wasn't the typical optic manuscript of the orthodox big back fans,media pundits , general managers ,and players were accustomed to seeing ..That nevertheless dosent rationally mean he wasn't punishing when he obsolutely had to be nor was sloth like in speed either ,checkout his 79 yd TD run in 1977 vs the cowboys , but watch him run through the chiefs safety on this highlite reel . Franco is nonobjectively scrutinized by his detractors because he wasn't the embodiment of the great Jim Brown over powering style despite having the physical dimensions ,he achieved Hof success doing it differently .
@@haroldmccoy6748 I saw his entire career live. He was good. He was not fast. He was not a power back. He did not run with the power of a running back of his size. It is that simple. All that other shit you posted is not being read.
@@christophertracy2807 He would run over your beta ass 7 days a week, beta.
@@nealm6764 Ask your mother if I am beta
@@nealm6764 Ask your mother if I am beta, pnk btch
RIP Franco Harris!
Rip king
The original ITALIAN STALLION!!!!!
RIP Franco.
As a 23 year old, football was way more manly back then
No one is wearing gloves in these clips
Also they didn’t get paid nearly as much (economy shift included)
They played for pure grit and passion
RIP big guy
RIP Franco
Rest In Peace
😍
Here cause the Snoop shout out
I feel so bad he just passed away R.I.P I have meant mean joe green because my grandpa and joe told me that the Steelers what are complete until Franko came
Franco was a big game player - Bigger the game, better he performed. Today's runners, while they have great skills, can they put them on display when it counts? Ask Todd Gurley. People questioned why Franco just went out of bounds instead of fighting for every inch, well I don't know many backs who have eclipsed 1,000 yards at the age of 33 or older, other than Adrian Peterson, John Riggins, John Henry Johnson, and Franco. Sweetness didn't, Emmitt didn't, Barry, Dickerson, Dorsett, LT all didn't. I'll pick Franco over any other back to play the game if the stakes are at their highest.
Big time, more so than almost any other back. Others may have the stats, but there’s no guarantee that any of them could do it. Franco made it a regular thing. Anyone who didn’t see the games would appreciate that he was the catalyst, ‘till Bradshaw matured.
Best big game player in NFL history. You saw what the Steelers did in the 76 AFC championship without him. The one link they couldn't do without.
Great analogy. You got my vote for best critic. I look forward to seeing more of your comments. GodBlessU! And Franco Harris.
One additional thought...Joe Greene is the one who changed the culture of the Steelers, but Franco is the one who made them winners
Actually Payton had 1333 in 1986 , and Emmitt Smith had 1021 in 2000, both surpassed 1000 yds rushing at age 33 .Sanders retired after his 10 season at 32 years of age with a 1491 yd rushing year with a 4.3 yds rushing avg , 4 yds .He retired before he turned 33 which would have been the following season .John Henry Johnson was the oldest player at the time to achieve 1000 yds rushing in a nfl season with pittsburgh in 1962 at age 34 .
You become a 4 time Super Bowl winner and have multiple players enter the HOF, when you hand off to Rocky Bleier and Franco Harris.
Peace be upon Franco Harris
How is Franco Harris not an NFL Top 100 player?
Franco Harris is not in the top 100 players? How is that possible?
Check out him and Jim Brown on the Donahue show .
I've stated this for over 5 years , fortunately the sporting news nfl top 100 all time players have him at 98 ,still ridiculously too low .The nfl all time team has respected greats on their list who Franco is at minimum equally impactful as a great player .,Derrick Brooks, Darryl Green,Marion Motley ,Lennyoire, all truly great hof players ,all certainly justified as being fully recognized for their achievements, but Franco meant more to his teams success overall then any of them ..How objectively can a player who was the first rb to rush for 1000 yds 8 times in a career ,first to surpass 1000 in post season ,sb mvp ,be considered not a top 100 player ? He epitomizes a major reason of the 1970's Steelers dynasty success ,before him the dynasty squad hadn't made post season ,he's the primary figure inthe greatest play for in nfl history .If he had gotten tackled the game was over , pittsburgh had no time outs left . He could score long distance ,short ,make people miss ,run through shoulder tackles ,elite ,all-time vision ,top 10 all time cut back runners . The Steelers set a nfl record for rushing for at least 100 yds a game as a team for 3 consecutive years 1976 77,78, ,, Franco was a main reason behind that success . He gets ostricized for not attempting to squeeze every yd out of every run ,yet he squeezed juice out of a rock when he needed to for the sake of the teams success . He accumulated over 100 career tds rushing and receiving .4 time sb champion ,the leading rusher and main offensive threat of the Steelers offense n it's first two sb wins , he epitomizes the concept of a top 100 player .
I implore the Steelers to put 72 Moon Mullins in the ring of honor!
Why show love wen someone die why not show love wen they alive
rip franco
Franco Harris > bell
don't @ me
Luis Cervantes I agree and he was only the FB lol
Nothing to come at you with. 4🏆> 0, and yes he was significant .
If Jack Tatum had gone for the interception the immaculate interception never happens. But Jack just had to lower the boom on one more Steeler.
😭😭😭
RIP
Franco did NOT like the Falcons it would seem
Rip
Occupys every criteria a historical top 100 player is suppose have ,yet only the sporting news all time top 100 has Franco on its lists ,the nfl's list has Darrell Green ,Troy Aikmon, Fran Tarkenton ,Derrick Brooks ,Marcus Allen ,Steve Van Buren "RIP" , respect to all of these great , great ,players and I'm sure even better human beings but in terms of total career and contribution towards being the reason behind their teams success ,Franco takes a back seat to none of these gentlemen . A High impact contributor , Franco could produce , especially in big games contribute towards helping his teams win those significant regular and post season contests .Franco career in pittsburgh was elite ,reflective in the fact those teams won 14 out of 21 playoff games lost 7 , won 4 sb championships whole holding or sharing 24:nfl records when he retired , the Steelers set a NFL record by rushing for 100 yds in ,43 consecutive games from 74 till 77 . Franco Harris continous irrational scrutiny because his running style wasn't the archetype of the historical large sized back ,and his reluctant desire to absorb unnecessary punishment once he had obtained as much out of a run as possible with exception being in crunch time situations is obsolutely ridiculous . Franco can walk without assistance from a Kane " Earl Campbell " nor was addicted to pain killers after career was over "Walter Payton " "RIP"because he refused to take in two or three defenders after a good run , particularly when he his team had 4 more downs after his run for a first down to capture a score .' I'm glad Paul Warfield was acknowledged as well as Lance Alworth on the all time top 100 lists .
Rip my man. ✌️
I believe today he would have to learn how to carry all over again. He would be a fumble king. Ball would be snatched regularly. lol
Much Respect 🙏 though.
Players are too pretty amd soft today I believe today's players wouldn't be able to hold the ball back then they would be too busy crying about dick buckus along with other greats aren't playing fair the hits are too hard, there's a finger in my eye etc lol 😉 😀
Wish I was alive in the 70s
A Pittsburgh Steelers legend that will never be forgotten, RIP Franco Harris
RIP
