[Steelers] Steelers RB Willie Parker Working On Increasing Speed

Following a recent Steelers practice, Willie Parker stayed on the field after many of his teammates had retired to the showers.He ran a series of sprints and at times had a sled with weights on it strapped to his bulging shoulders. After the extra work that is the rule rather than the exception for Parker, the sixth-year veteran said something that may bode well for a running game that proved to be rather pedestrian last season.
"I'm getting that speed back like I had two or three years ago," Parker said while still trying to catch his breath. "I'm faster than I've been."
