James Conner is going behind the microphone.
The Pittsburgh Steelers running back, who is entering his third year with the team and is coming off a Pro Bowl appearance, has agreed to do a show at 5 p.m. Mondays during the football season on 93.7 FM. Conner will join hosts Andrew Filliponi and Chris Mueller.
Conner’s first appearance will be Sept. 9.
“I’m thrilled to be able to connect with Steeler Nation through 93.7 The Fan every week and share with listeners insights that they won’t hear anywhere else,” Conner said in a statement.
An Erie native and former Pitt player, Conner replaced Le’Veon Bell as the team’s starting running back last season and rushed for 973 yards and 12 touchdowns in 13 games. He also caught 55 passes for 497 yards and a score.
