The Immaculate Reception — the most famous play in NFL history, and four Super Bowl rings as the workhorse back of the Pittsburgh Steelers dynasty.
Franco Harris is remembered first for the Immaculate Reception — his catch of a deflected pass on the final play of the 1972 AFC Divisional game against Oakland to win the match — the most famous play in NFL history. But his career was far more than one play: he won four Super Bowls with Pittsburgh, was named Super Bowl IX MVP, and rushed for 12,120 yards over 13 seasons.
The Immaculate Reception — still the most debated and discussed play in NFL history — was so extraordinary that its legality was immediately challenged and has been argued ever since.
