Willie Parker hoping for flashback to healthier days

Posted Jan 30, 2009
Tens of thousands of flash bulbs will be seen precisely at kickoff Sunday from the stands at Raymond James Stadium for Super Bowl XLIII. That'll be nothing new for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They have been seeing flashes all season. Flashes from running back Willie Parker, that is. Flashes of the form he showed while rushing for more than 1,000 yards the previous three seasons — with a high of 1,494 in 2006. (USA Today)
