Remembering Franco Harris’ historic NFL & Steelers career | Get Up 

Superheros don't die. They shine upon us eternally.

One of my childhood favorite running backs🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

One of the nicest guys ever in the history of pro football -- Franco's Army is in mourning.

We love Mr. Harris a lot in México 🇲🇽 All the Steelers fans in muy country are very sad. In 2 days we would conmemorate the inmaculate reception. I can't beleive It. He passed away today. 🙈😥😥😥 He may rest in peace.

My childhood idol😪. Followed him in college, big Penn state fan. Became a steelers fan when he was drafted. I'm from NYC, my favorite sports team. Went to Latrobe in 1975, as a 12yr old, because I wrote a paper, the history of the Pittsburgh steelers. I'm sad this morning. Rest in peace Franco🙏🏾.

I am devastated Franco Harris meant so much to me As a man of color seeing him play For Penn state and then the Pittsburgh Steelers was Paramount for myself. Being a half breed was TOUGH during that Time period ( as it is to this day) people bashing you from the white and the black side(those of us of the born of the B&W ilk )pressuring us for a loyalty to a race or way of being. Franco transcended all of the B.s.that was Perpetrated throughout his young years with a goal of being the best person and Football Player He could be. He Achieved that and so Much more. REST EAZY #32 You Have Done So Much More For Your Family's First And Foremost Your Born Family and Then Penn State Then The Pittsburgh Steelers Nation Family......We'll Miss You Greatly 😔 And Rejoice in The Memories of Your Greatness On The Field of Play And Your Contribution to the fabric of The MANY People and Organizations whom You Have Contributid toThroughout Your Life ....

Wouldn't be a Bradshaw without Franco Harris. ✊✊✊

Franco Harris a great player and great man! May he Rest in Peace, sad to see him go right before the anniversary

I wore #32 in my high school playing days because of that catch.

He was so nice. He would always say hi to me when he would come to the capitol in Harrisburg Pennsylvania where I worked. Beautiful smile. Rest in Love Franco heaven gets that beautiful smile now. Life well done. Such an amazing gentleman. 🕊️🙏🏽💐🌷🌼☝🏽☝🏽🌸🌹🌹🌺🕊️🌸🕊️🌺🕊️🙏🏽🌹🌸💐🌷☝🏽🌼☝🏽🌷🌸💐🌹🌺🕊️🌺🕊️🙏🏽🌹🌸🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Shocking. I have no words other than thank you, Franco for everything. Dang it right before the 50th Immaculate Reception celebration.

5:03 you can also add Jack Lambert & Mike Webster from that same draft class. Steelers 1974 draft class the greatest by a franchise bar none.

Amazing player and person. Well done my good and faithful servant, Prayers for his family

Great running back!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🏈

He was the NFL player that kids should look up to, not these thugs we have nowdays.

My heart goes out to his wife ,family and close friends , so horrible, he seemed fine giving interviews....then just like that he's gone.... no words so sad ......

The immaculate reception! Froze in time & in my mind! Never forget that hit from Jack Tatum that caused the may lay & then the shoe string reception by Franco, Like Mad Dog said all those Legends on Both sides of the field, Not enough Superlatives to Acknowledge them,

This SUCKS! I'm 43, my grandpa taped every single game in the 70s on VHS. We watch them together in the late eighties and I can't tell you how many memories I have of my grandfather just proudly showing me what Steelers football was about. This sucks

Those young girls got a history lesson from a legend on the last day of his life. Crazy how life goes. Rest in POWER.

Mad Dog rules! Thanks for the beautiful sentiment & the knowledge of those Steeler glory days!

We will never forget about him

A great man and even greater. Running back. Franco was my favorite Steeler. I will always remember his kindness and humility.Blessings to his family.⚡️✨🔘✨⚡️✨⚡️✨

Remembering Franco Harris’ historic NFL & Steelers career

As am watching this, Tower of Power's "So Very Hard To Go" is playing on the radio. Song title speaks Volumes! So Very hard to hear the news that Steelers #32 has passed. Now he, Madden, Snake, Fats, Mad Dog & others can discuss, ad eterneum(?) about what Really happened!-lol. Gentlemen, you will live on in NFL annals! Steeler Nation Forever!

Love to hear the Great Jim Brown's perspective on Franco

Ugh. God bless his legend soul!!!💚🙏🙏🙏🙏

Talk about a life legacy 🙏🏻👏👏❤️

I was in love with him.

May Franco Harris rest in peace. And may his loved ones be comforted and healed.

Getting to talk 1970s sports. Mad Dog is in his glory listing off all the Hall of Famers. Steelers and Raiders.

I live in the neighborhood where Franco grew up in Bloomfield. He was loved by all and will be deeply missed by all in Pittsburgh including The Italian Army. He was a mans man and a great influence to many.

He was a childhood hero. Today is a sad day.

The Immaculate Reception sparked the Steeler dynasty. The Raiders were on the losing end of two historic controversial plays that launched two different teams into their dynasties. The first was The Immaculate Reception and the second was The Brady Tuck Rule fumble. Must be Raider karma.

Rest in Peace Franco 🏈 #32

Greatest team of all time no free agents all drafted STEELERDYNASTY

(John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

FH#32... ya did good, baby. Am sure T.B. is hurting today, so take it easy Terry. Football > Apple Pie.

My heart is breaking. I am in shock. Deep down I know it was God's game plan. However, there will be an "Immaculate Reception" again - in Heaven. He will live forever in the hearts and minds of football fans - especially in Pittsburgh.

Someone tell Chris to lower his voice.

CTE

chalk up another for the jab

Another celebrity who dies in his sleep with no cause of death given. And from all accounts, in good health. What is going on?
