In this episode of Greatest Sports Legends, host Dave Winfield explores the career of Franco Harris. Harris was chosen for 9 consecutive Pro Bowls from 1972 through 1980, and was All-Pro in 1977. He broke Jim Brown's record by rushing for more than 1,000 yards in 8 seasons. The tandem running package of Harris and Vietnam veteran Rocky Bleier combined with a strong defense to win four Super Bowls in the 1974, 1975, 1978, and 1979 seasons. In 1975 he was the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl IX; in that game he rushed for 158 yards and a touchdown on 34 carries for a 16-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Harris was the first African American and Italian-American to win the Super Bowl MVP award. Harris was a major contributor for the Steelers in all of their first four Super Bowl wins. His Super Bowl career totals of 101 carries for 354 yards are records that stand to this day and his 4 career rushing touchdowns are tied for the second most in Super Bowl history. This video contains an in-depth interview as well as footage of the games, touchdowns and rushes that made him stand out in history. His career with Pittsburgh will remain eternally unrivaled in the eyes of all Steelers fans. Running Time: 22 minutes
