"Your CTE is crazy" - NFL fans blast LeSean McCoy over bizarre tweet following news of Franco Harris' death
LeSean McCoy, a long-time NFL employee at the same position as Franco Harris, took to Twitter to post a normally positive message. However, the post came just hours after the NFL lost one of the Pittsburgh Steelers' household names.
Fans connected the two messages and equated McCoy's positivity to being happy about Harris' passing. As a result, they viciously slammed McCoy's post.
Here are some of the shots taken at the former Cowboys running back:

When did Pittsburgh Steelers RB Franco Harris play in the NFL?
Running back Harris was drafted by the Steelers 13th overall in the first round of the 1972 NFL Draft. He went on to have an instant impact on the team.
In his rookie season, he rushed for 1,055 yards and ten touchdowns. Over the ensuing years, he proved to be as reliable as any running back in the NFL.
Aside from a sophomore slump in 1973 (he still earned 698 yards and three touchdowns), the late running back moved the line of scrimmage routinely for the rest of the 1970s.
From 1974 until 1979, he rushed for at least 1,000 yards per season and five touchdowns. He had the single-best season of his career during this span.
In 1975, he rushed for a career-best 1,246 yards and ten touchdowns. Some may argue that his 1976 season was better. In 1976, he rushed for 1,128 yards and 14 touchdowns.
After 1979, the running back continued as a workhorse for the team but started to slow down for a few years. In 1980, he earned 789 yards and four touchdowns. In 1981, he rushed for 987 yards and eight touchdowns. In 1982, he rushed for 604 yards and two touchdowns.
Heading into 1983, many expected a similar performance, but instead, he put on a vintage level of production in line with his prime years. He earned 1,007 yards and five touchdowns. It was his final year with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 1984, he joined the Seattle Seahawks for one final run.
While he wrapped his career on the West Coast, the running back is synonymous with the team's domination in the 1970s. From 1972 until 1983, the Steelers went to four Super Bowls and won every single one. They also reached two conference championships.
From 1972 to 1983, the team missed the playoffs just twice. In those seasons, they finished 8-8 and 9-7.
