Steelers | Hope persists for James Conner

Pittsburgh Steelers RB James Conner is still viewed as a starter by the team, and he’s expected to have a bounceback season in 2020, according to general manager Kevin Colbert Thursday, Feb. 13. ‘James Conner had a disappointing season in James Conner’s viewpoint and ours, as well,’ Colbert said. ‘Our point to James was, ‘You had an unfortunate year.’ The year before that he was one of the best in the league.” … ‘He’s still a young player. We think there’s something there. We know there’s talent there. We hope James can regain it. And, if he’s healthy, there’s no reason he shouldn’t. We don’t want to say we don’t have a starting running back because we feel we do.’
