Pittsburgh Steelers legendary running back Franco Harris passed away December 20, 2022, at his home in Sewickey, Pennsylvania just hours after he did a radio interview. No cause of death was given at this time. He was 72.

Harris died days before the 50th anniversary of his iconic “Immaculate Reception”, a game-winning touchdown catch which led to the Steelers to victory against the Oakland Raiders 13-7. Harris played for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1972-1983. Career highlights include being a 4x Super Bowl champion, a Super Bowl MVP, an NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and an inductee into the Pittsburgh Pro Football Hall of Fame.
