I was never a fan of Franco Harris. I hated the way he ran out of bounds all the time...and he had that big Steeler D and the Steeler passing game to help him out. Anyone think he was a tad bit overrated?

And where does he rank on the All-time steeler team? Ahead of Bettis and Parker?

He will always be ahead of the others because of the superbowl rings, but I think he is a bit overrated too. He definitely benefitted from having a lot of talent on that team. Not only him, but I think Bradshaw is overrated as well

I don't think he was overrrated. He's not really considered in the upper crust of running backs like Brown, Simpson, Sanders LT, etc.... He's at that next tier. 4.1 yards a carry speaks for itself.

Yeah, it says he had poor speed and was able to follow Webster, Bleir and a host of good blocking for at least four yards...
