Pitt RB Connor cancer free; should be good to go this fall … For those that didn’t hear the news earlier this week, Pitt RB James Connor got the best news of his life when the latest medical tests showed that he is cancer free after undergoing a rigorous regimen of chemotherapy to deal with Hodgkin lymphoma tumors which were found on his neck and chest last fall. Connor, who had been considered to be a potential top 100 pick at the 2016 draft before getting his diagnosis, has been cleared to resume full football activities when fall training camp gets underway in August.
