Mapping James Conner: Pitt RB's body traces path to hell and back

Posted Jun 25, 2016
The artifacts of cancer are different to each patient. To some, it’s head scarves and blankets. To others, it’s tears and frustration. To Pittsburgh running back James Conner, it’s his scars. The visible ones, sure, but the intangible ones, too. The ones only he can feel. Like the December day he considers his lowest of lows — when he had to stand in front of his teammates and tell them through tears that he had cancer. (USA Today)
