This dude has the best one liners on NFL HISTORY. “I’m tired boss” I’m dying

"There's an excuse for me to exercise violence, let me go do it" - Troy, perfectly describes 92.

Mike Tomlin needs a documentary about how the hell he managed Ben, AB, Harrison, Polemalu on the same damn team

"I teach my kids, don't be a bully, but you have to stand up for yourself. You have to let a bully know, even if they run around thinking they're the baddest thing in the school, you give it your all, and try to whip that ass!" -Mildred Harrison Words to teach our kids today.

We need James and his mom on MNF with Eli and Peyton

The greatest - and most intimidating- first 45 seconds in the history of A Football Life. Hands down.😳😳😳

Bill Cowher: "You can't just take yourself out of a game." Antonio Brown: ✌🏿

James was a complete monster. The way he played is the reason why I loved to watch him.

I'll admit it, as a Ravens fan I have a deep respect for Troy Polamalu and James Harrison. Those guys were true ballers, and they really kept that defense as dominant as it was

It's so crazy seeing a guy this fit, strong, and dominant, and still being a complete mama's boy who slept with his parents for years. crazy! Much respect. he's on my HOF ballot if I had one

Lmaooo “some bum named Berger” killed me then Ben popped up 😂😂😂

“Other people brought their kids over to get whooped by her” Mama Harrison wasn’t playing😂😂

I miss the early and mid 00s NFL where you had John Lynch, Polamalu, Harrison, Dawkins, Ray Lewis, Urlacher and the like. Today defenders are all about speed and agility, those guys would make you think twice before coming across the middle.

It's going to be an absolute travesty of justice if this guy doesn't end up in the HOF.

Everyone mentioning how dominant he was on the field but off the field his workout routine was insane 😳

We need more Linebackers like James Harrison. I loved watching him play.

James was definitely my favorite player growing up

This is a man that always stayed unapologetically true to himself and never wavered from that vision. He knew he was still able to produce at that high level even when the Steelers gave up on him yet again, and they were the ones that had asked him to come out of his happy retirement. He goes to the Patriots and almost wins a third super bowl ring with them. His balance, functional core strength, leverage and tactical hand warfare were unmatched. The way he walks his life makes him a giant among men.

He was an underdog. There are a lot of things one can learn from his career don't matter how difficult it gets never give up.

James Harrison, not only a great football player. He's a great example to all others too. Without question, a great man as well. A hero to his family and to Steeler fans.

Listening to Troy talk about James at 41:30 in the video and seeing them walking side by side makes me emotional. I loved watching those 2 guys play together

I've been a Steelers fan since 1976, I've seen them all. James Harrison was the best Steeler linebacker ever. Imagine Harrison and Greene on the outside with Lambert in the middle, all in their prime... 😱

I remember seeing James Harrison in a Best Buy looking at a 80+ inch TV (idk how big it was for sure), years ago, and this dude covered up the entirety of the TV with his width.

James "Debo" Harrison is a bad man. He's not even as big as many of the guys who he faced but they still had to illegally hold him because they couldn't stop him , he was just that tough.

Awesome show. As a lifetime Steelers fan, James Harrison is one of my all time favorites. His tenacity and intensity was extreme. James inspired me in my own life and helped me overcome my own trials and tribulations. Thank you James for all you did on and off the field. You are legendary.

Two defensive duo's that stand out above anyone else... Troy and James, Ed Reed and Ray Lewis

They had so much respect for and fear of James Harrison, the Ravens hired a player specifically to guard against Harrison's rush [I don't recall the player's name but I do remember he was what appeared to be about two feet taller then Harrison]. I've always said Harrison was Jack Lambert's brother from a different mother - they both played their game with that fearless abandon of defensive legends. Thank you James Harrison and I'm looking forward to your induction into the HOF!

i drove his suburban at the cheescake factory for 5 years. he always tipped $20 parkin n $20 pickin up!! hines ward gave $1 in a bently so did tomlin in a escalade. i and my friends who valet'd wore their superbowl xl jerseys in the back of their trucks in 05-06 but our phone cameras sucked!! i drove heath miller to the atm in his own tahoe lol. ben always tipped $100 he would literally throw us his keys n whoever caught them drove his new yellow hummer, i got lucky to catch his keys once, n charlie batch always tipped $100, i drove his rolls royce phantom!!! im lucky!! i can literally say i caught a pass from big ben even if they were keys!!

Man those Steelers Ravens games with those legendary defenses were epic. It was the immovable object vs the unstoppable force and they were always amazing games. They’ll be missed.

Love his respect for the game and the elders that played and paved the way before him by admitting that Franco Harris's immaculate reception was better than his pick 6 in the Super Bowl, tough admission especially from a professional athlete.!

Those eyes. Most intense eyes in the game and he shows that intensity on the field. That’s awesome “ I don’t need to smile to make you feel comfortable “ enough said.

He is a true example of a player with tons of heart and will.

I dont spend an hour of my life on just any video... This guy is my favorite steeler ever. He made me laugh and made me memories.

Pure legend. Sadly, the like to never be seen again in the modern NFL.

I loved the way Harrison played. Seeing some of the workouts this man does at 40+ is also extremely motivating for me in my mid 30s. Dude reps more than most NFL players max. Still.

If James Harrison and Mike Singletary stared each other down from opposite lines, they could form a new element at the line of scrimmage.

Harrison in his prime in deff on my "all star greats" team!! Yes im a Steelers fan but that really don't have anything to do with it other than I watched every one of his games so I know how good he really was! Unstoppable on the blitz but also great in that short to mid range pass coverage!

Our defense hasn't had that nastiness, toughness and killer instinct since Harrison left. He was the soul of the defense.

It was Harrison’s pick-6 interception of Kurt Warner’s 1 yard toss just before half-time that was one of the keys to the Steelers’s Super Bowl win over the Cardinals.

he’s hands down 1 of the best Outside linebacker and pass rushers the NFL has ever seen play the game of football.

5:52 That browns fan is lucky Harrison decided mercy halfway through that...

He went from idk the play coach take me out to making the best play ever in the SB, legendary.

I’ve watched this at least 3 times. LEGENDARY

Does anyone remember the game when he got 3 out of 4 holding calls. Or 4 out of 7, but got two sacks and 2 pressures consecutively? Then they just gameplanned away from him the rest of the game?

James Harrison arguing with his mom on camera 😂 that’s how you know he don’t care who you are lol

I’m more afraid of his mom lmao “I’m not gonna smile just to make you look comfortable” Love it, from a Ravens fan

as a huge Pittsburgh fan this is amazing too watch james was a force on the field man and clearly a really nice guy too off the field! huge respect

I miss you in black and gold James! You deserved better from the Steelers my friend. You are in my prayers! God bless

SO excited for this. Love you James🖤💛

Thank you, James Harrison. You brought an element of defense to the Steelers that was missing almost since the 70s and added to it. It's a team sport, but it's amazing what a person can do for the whole team. Time with family is more important than football, but I can only imagine the fear caused by any rumor if you followed Le'Veon Bell or Antonio just for fun. Too bad they are on the wrong side of the ball, unless James decided to play offense. :)

I’ve always like Harrison, but this is a great look into his personality. Love this guy.

Respect to a throwback! Loved watching him play

Pats fan here always hated seeing our team going up against this beast. It was great to see him play with Brady for a little bit. James Harrison is one hell of a football player.

Harrison was a Savage on the field but I have a lot of respect for him prioritizing raising his sons.

As a Ravens fan I really deep DEEP down inside loved watching Harrison play. He was the best I’ve seen.

Damn. I never had a problem with him, always liked him as a player, but what a guy this dude is! Inspiring, imo the perfect blend of honesty, attitude (bad and good lol), and love for his friends and family. I definitely look up to him as a man now.

One of the baddest boys to ever play for the Steelers 🖤💛

Dudes an absolute beast

As a Raiders fan living in NW Pennsylvania hating the Steelers but loved watching 92 do his thing on the field for many years. He is what defines defense football. Thank you for the entertainment JH

One of the most underrated defensive players ever! Responsible for arguably the greatest play in SB history. Was held on like every play lol. Amazing story, amazing player, Cowher is right he's a throw back player, loved watching him play.

He was one of my favorite defensive players! Steeler Nation!!

The "MAN". Miss watching him play.

Great man and Steeler. Love this guy !!! Never give up!!!

Pittsburgh loves James and always will! Thanks James

James was the MVP of the super bowl. PERIOD!

I'm a Giants fan, but I enjoyed every snap that I could catch. I watched every Steelers game that I could while Harrison played. I absolutely had a blast, especially since they are in the AFC!

Thanks James, for being your unique, eloquent, and badass self. Fantastic doc. Well done.

I watch this probably every 6 months and it never gets old I just love football and the old players especially this great.

being a fan was a little bit of a roller coaster and all I wanted was for him to come back. This series captured an unlikely story and his attitude pretty well. It's crazy he was 39 when he retired and playing that physical of a position. He carried the legacy of a Steelers linebacker well.

Love James, but gave the like when mama Mildred said "don't be bully, but if someone mess with you, you beat that @$$"

Loved..watching him hit WR' S...Fearless enough to come across the middle...

James Harrison is a beast of the Pittsburgh Steelers is a legend and two 2x super bowl champs

James Harrison for both the Pro Football Hall-Of-Fame & the Pittsburgh Steelers Hall Of Honor, respectively.

absolute legend and will never be forgotten as a Steelers Legend

Hero! Thank you for one of my most favorite sports memories. Was 12 yrs old and still remember that play to this day

Just watched again....this man keeps it real...extremely inspiring...I can see things really going well as an actor.

They should consider the fact that this man was overlooked until he was 29 years old when considering HOF induction.

This is an endearing video. For those like me that didn't know James Harrisons story, this changed a lot in perception.

As a Ravens fan I have nothing but respect for the great one they call DEEBO! Salute Brother!

That Superbowl Run Shows the greatness of James Harrison. WOW !!!! First time seeing that and all I can say is WOW.

I love football during this era it was relentless

one of few steelers former players that could play in any era of football. Bro was a straight up beast!!! Bro was cut from a different cloth.

To hell with his incredibly talented play. James Harrison was the epitome of what happens when you combine the elements of: hard work, strong will, imagination. If our society needs a role model then it should start with James Harrison.

dudes a monster. one of my favorite players. Its why I love the Pittsburgh Baltimore rivalry so much - so many great defensive players on both sides. just makes it a great game to watch every year - three times if we are lucky enough to meet in the playoffs..

As they said he breaks the mold, as a Kansas City chiefs fan, plenty and out most respect. Didn’t like how he single handedly did to us in a few games but no one did it like Deebo. Lol. This definitely gave a different perspective of him. But he was the best that played his possession. Thanks James, you made nfl fun to watch , and every time steeler play KC , all I get say is ,oh boy.

I will watch this every time I need motivation to go to the gym

To James Harrison thanks you for all your hard work and great memories you are a great pittsburgh steelers

It is a pleasure to hear him speak about himself. Those who don't know he doesn't speak to the press or like cameras in his face.

James Harrison was a different animal, he’s really an under appreciated linebacker in NFL history. He made his mark. Say what you want about him, he’s dirty, he’s a cheap shot, he’s a cheater, say whatever you want. He’s a Steelers and he’s here to make you feel the pain he came from. He’s very original, hardworking and just ruthless. You can’t take any of that away from him. He intercepted Kurt Warner and ran it back for 100+ yards in the Super Bowl, what else can I say.

Now…imagine Jack Lambert with that much muscle…and you’ll get a chill down your spine!!!

Damn good documentary…. He’s in the books forever!!!

prolly the sweetest guy yoiu meet.. football dudes are the the most humble . Love ya Big dawg

I can only imagine if Harrison &Lloyd had played together. That would have been something. Definitely upheld tradition and could have played with the Steel Curtain of the 1970's. Jack Lambert went to Kent State as well.

James..... great enforcer and ass kicker for the Steelers. Thank you

The epitome of a Steelers LB. may it forever be so. Thanks James. Mom is tough too! Good people.

James Harrison was a beast total monster image James, Rodney , Ronnie on the same defense WOW

James Harrison played the game of football how it was meant to be played!

Aka sir, aka silverback, aka deeboo, aka the intimidation. His physical abilities were unreal. He was the end of an era of hard hitting classic football.

One of my all time favorite Steeler. He's an animal.

One of the BEST "A Football Life" ever!
