It sure doesn’t sound like Steelers RB James Conner is going to miss Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell.
Connor talked about the team and how everyone seemed to grow closer in the midst of the internal drama.
“I think only time will tell,” Steelers running back James Conner told #PFTPM on Monday. “I think we became closer maybe because of everything. Throughout OTAs and minicamp, it was fun to see the guys. You know, come into the facility, excited to be there, the interactions and the relationships. They’ve all been great so far. Great vibes within our organization. We’re excited about the future, man.”
While Conner might not miss Bell and Brown, the Steelers offense might. It’s widely known that now #1 WR JuJu Smith-Schuster got a lot of his looks due to the double coverage of Antonio Brown. How will the offense look without those open looks for JuJu? Who knows, but we do know that James Washington has to step up if there is going to be any hope for that Steelers WR group.
Conner doesn’t have as many concerns, but any time you lose a running back with the talent Bell has, there’s going to be some initial concern.
The Steelers aren’t expected to contend this season, but if they are to have any type of success, Conner and Smith-Schuster will be leading the way.
