Steelers’ Conner In ‘Best Shape’

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner says he’s in the best shape of his life thanks in part to the quarantine surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Conner says the lockdown has given him time to cut out “distractions” and help him focus on bouncing back from an injury-riddled 2019. Conner played sporadically over the final eight games because of a nagging right shoulder injury, and the Steelers opted not to offer him a contract extension during the offseason. Conner says he isn’t concerned about his future and is trying to focus on the present.
