He’s not HOF worthy. His peak wasn’t long enough and his overall counting stats aren’t close to other HOF pass rushers. He was a great player in his prime but his prime was only a few years unfortunately
I think he could get in, but probably in the later years like we’ve seen many linebackers recently. But doesn’t him any less a hall of famer. As for the rest of y’all, some things you just can’t measure. Stats, longevity of his prime, comparison to other legends at the time, that doesn’t state how good he really was. It’s impact, his team and many others. I once heard that ‘to be in the Hall you have to ask if you could write the story of the NFL without mentioning this person’. If that’s a criteria I don’t think you could. One of the best defensive players on one of the best defensive franchises, the Super Bowl pick 6, the fact that anyone in the AFC North would remember how he played, etc. You at least have to consider him for the Hall.
Eagles fan here always have respect for our Pittsburgh brothers and sisters, harrison was my favkrite steeler next to troy, god bless yall steeler nation
Same as a steelers fan. I'm glad we are not in the same division as eagles so we don't have to be rivals. We will leave that to the penguins and flyers😂
Wife & I drove up from DC to go to that game vs. the Ravens in 2007 when they honored the 75th-anniversary all-time Steeler team. Ben was at his best, throwing TD darts in the rain, but Harrison owned that game like nothing I've ever seen. A transcendent performance that no one who saw it will forget.
Man you said a mouthful. I hardly even recognize the game now. Everytime there's a big hit or any kind of physical play, there's always a penalty. Guys getting suspended for hitting hard.
I'll never forget how my Old Man and I celebrated, jumped around while hooting and hollering. Watching games hasnt been the same since he has passed. James is one of my all time favorite players!! I miss seeing that beast playing lol
What an amazing story. James Harrison is a legend, not only in Steelers fame but also the whole league since its inception. He was called 'the Beast' for a reason. His incredible strength and physique was of a nature that demanded respect and it didn't come easy. His play on the field is accentuated by the number of sacks and that amazing interception and run that upended NFL records. His previous disappointments and cuts only fueled the fire within. Here we have a man that should be a mentor to all who have faced adversity, only to emerge even stronger through discipline and hard work. God bless you sir!!!
James Deebo Harrison didn't disappoint when he came to Pittsburgh he deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame soon as a Steelers fan he is was and always will be a Steelers no matter what from here on in!
What an amazing MAN and Father! I did not like the Steelers but respected his abilities, but I RESPECT him even more after watching this. He needs to be in the Hall of Fame!
Steeler fan here since 73 and this guy was an absolute beast.talking about ray lewis this guy was on his level. In fact ray and james saw an awful lot of each other on sundays.
A beast he was. DOY at linebacker who was cut 4 times, is only 6 foot tall. Who could imagine going from him to Watt. Honestly a rarity to have greats at LB back to back
I have to say it if no one else will, but damn! He was a beast, much love and respect, James. ❤ I would have to say I really respect his dedication as a father and his commitment as a son. When he said the greatest moment was making his father proud, it really hit me where I live.❤
Endless love for this man.. dude IS Steeler football. You’ll live among the Steeler legends forever James. It was a privilege to watch you play man. GL in everything in life
Harrison and Polom was definitely a problem for the ravens we played some great games but I will never forgive Tomlinson for sticking his foot out to stop a runback. I lost a lot of respect for him on that play alone. Respect to the Steelers. They made us the team we are today.🤓👍🏾
Wow! Awesome story! I'm ashamed to admit that I'd never heard of this man until this video! I am totally awe-struck at what he did on the field, and so respectful of him as a son, a father and a man.
This is when ball was the best!! James was a great player and wants to be remembered as a good human that made his Dad proud .. It doesn't get any better than that..
THANK YOU James Harrison, I REALLY miss seeing you play, I have been Blessed - I've got to see Andy Russell,Jack Lambert,Jack Ham and James Harrison play for the Steelers! GOD BLESS them all & Thanks for the memories.Go STEELERS!!!
the 100yd return IS crazy... but look where Fitzgerald was when it started and where he was when it finished. He deserves credit on that play too, he wanted to win just as much.
When I think of James Harrison, I'm reminded of Rocky III when the reporter asked Clubber(Mr. T)for a prediction for the fight. He said, "My prediction?- Paaaiiin!!!"
The one thing I will always remember about him is his final year in NE, when in the Super Bowl he was literally their best defensive player they had despite his age! Tough as nails with infinite heart!
I met James in Hawaii and talked with him , he thought I was a rookie player he didn't meet yet. I didn't know him at first but kept telling him how much I liked how he played "old school" football with the hard hits . He just laughed , especially when I said the reasons for the fines was because of these newer players not being tough enough and being candy a**es .
Great great great grrrreat video.! I literally got chills listening and watching this video. That’s a man right there! 🏈🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Yesssss! STEELERS!! “ The name on his back” , “ I made my Daddy proud “
One of the best. It’s sad to say but Pittsburgh will never find another one like him. He will forever be missed. Retired and came back still doing damage.
Your exactly right ! But He is the only one that will ever do what he accomplished🌟With a relentless, unmatched, violent! 1 man attack that could change the game in 1 play.Or the skill to crush and run the football like a grizzly 99 yards for TD ! Belongs in the H O F ! No Doubt
I have 3 of his jerseys all steelers, of course and troy Polamalu and hines ward and heath miller and ike taylor and pouncey and timmions and big ben man those was the years!
As a skinny white safety, james harrison was my football idol. He did a lot of wrestling single/double legs or hip tosses,never stopped the pressure and intensity, ans most impressively was down to ride for his teammates without hesitation. Get this man his Jacket
Yeah this man was and is still a menace. Those medicine ball workouts in the sand nah. James Harrison definitely top linebacker. Freak athletes and solid man.
I remember being a kid and being a cardinals fan i was so upset at the intersection return for a touchdown and thinking superman was on the other team. Just ridiculous he was definitely a beat back in the day when i was kid and teenager.
Someone get this man into Canton sooner than later
No hes in the hall of very good
@@Hellhounddd Not enough, needs to be in Canton one day.
He’s not HOF worthy. His peak wasn’t long enough and his overall counting stats aren’t close to other HOF pass rushers. He was a great player in his prime but his prime was only a few years unfortunately

When Bill was scared to tell Harrison to come out, that should let you know. You should be scared of him haha 😂
One of my favorite NFL players of all time... Dude was a monster.
In a sport grounded In violence, he was one of the most violent to ever do it. Dude was FEARED and ima ravens fan.
And to think the Ravens had him and cut him too
I wouldn't say violent anymore.
That's what I'll always remember. He terrified most of the greatest athletes ever to play professional sports.
It was an honor watching James play and honestly that Steelers team man those days were fantastic
'You make him come out.' That says it all about this man.

James harrison was of the best steelers in the modern nfl.
I'd say top 20 to 15 greatest Steelers of all time
Troy???
He Deserves To Be In The Pro Football Hall Of Fame Someday
Between him, Burfict and Ray Lewis good god the AFC North aches your bones
@@EBA_10 We don’t talk about the dirtiest player of all time(Burfict).
James Harrison was a Beast. That 90+ yard INT in the SB was one of the top 5 Plays in Superbowl history
It was a 💯

Don't tell Deebo it's only in your top 5.
Its the top 1 bro lmao
I appreciate you guys not showing any clips of Deebo in a Bengals or Patriots uniform😂
One of his games with New England he had 2.5 sacks! 😅
@@Mike-vv5lj Irrelevant
@@LiamDeege aww I'm so sorry. Did someone gets his feelings hurt?
@@Mike-vv5lj No, but I do hate New England to the back of my head.
Well, I would have liked if they showed the end of the carreer with both teams tbh, why he left and etc.
This era of football is gone people we lost it. Sad to say the best are gone and it may take years if ever to come back.
Man you said a mouthful. I hardly even recognize the game now. Everytime there's a big hit or any kind of physical play, there's always a penalty. Guys getting suspended for hitting hard.
Hands down a beast and a good man.... we love him.

When Troy says you've done supernatural things that's got to be the greatest compliment you can get.
James Harrison is one of the greatest steeler linebackers of all time in a loooong list of great linebackers. Get this man a jacket and Hines too
James Deebo Harrison didn't disappoint when he came to Pittsburgh he deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame soon as a Steelers fan he is was and always will be a Steelers no matter what from here on in!
One of the strongest human beings you will ever see!!
And No Juice ... just the True American Beast💯👊🌟🌓
JAMES HARRISON#92 .. PITTSBURGH STEELERS 🏈 LEGEND .. GROWN MAN STRENGTH ..

That man earned everything ,he was un-drafted and played his tail off to make a roster.
Mama dukes Harrison said step to that bully and whoop that you know what😂
He was just 1 of 1, never will be other quite like 92
A beast he was. DOY at linebacker who was cut 4 times, is only 6 foot tall. Who could imagine going from him to Watt. Honestly a rarity to have greats at LB back to back
And before that Joey Porter

That black and white shot with deebo in full color was lit!!!!💯
My all-time favorite Pittsburgh Steeler.
Wow this is amazing. Super proud of this man. And I loved his dedication to family his parents to to his kids
Folks I hope we appreciated the 2000s-mid 2010s era of hard hitting football. Especially with the Steelers and this man!
The Steelers defense was that amazing throughout the 2000's and early to mid 2010's
Sadly my Steelers defense was so dominant we made cte awareness a thing 🤣🤣
back then the defenses were the best, the offenses were still all about the run, it was a great time.
I’m so glad I was alive to see that Super Bowl and that era, I might’ve been only 11 years old but I remember these times!
😢 miss that era
Wow! Awesome story!
I'm ashamed to admit that I'd never heard of this man until this video!
I am totally awe-struck at what he did on the field, and so respectful of him as a son, a father and a man.
Wow!!! This the greatest video about my favorite player! Thank you!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He is so friggin intense. Dude scares me just giving interviews
He had the right name Apocalypse on the show Heels; James Harrison would have been an awesome professional wrestler
Literally gave me chills to watch
Troy in awe of Harrison, Ike Taylor in awe of Troy, Big Ben in awe of the O-LINE
The pick-six against the Cardinals in the super bowl is the greatest play in football history.
The conversation after the play between James and Tomlin was hilarious. Look it up.
He was a bully among bullies
in the best way possible I might add
Yes and his mama said kick that bully ass
This is when ball was the best!! James was a great player and wants to be remembered as a good human that made his Dad proud .. It doesn't get any better than that..

There's certain MEN in the world of the NFL that the average Man may NEVER want to be in dark places with.
I believe James Harrison to be such a MAN.
When I think of James Harrison, I'm reminded of Rocky III when the reporter asked Clubber(Mr. T)for a prediction for the fight. He said, "My prediction?- Paaaiiin!!!"
Those were the days!!! THANK YOU, JAMES!!!
The one thing I will always remember about him is his final year in NE, when in the Super Bowl he was literally their best defensive player they had despite his age! Tough as nails with infinite heart!
Excellent player, dedication and honor to play football....JH is my favorite player.....
Best part of being a steelers fan, watching Harrison &Troy play every Sunday
as a Bengals fan, this dude was an absolute menace and nightmare to face!
Should be a shoo in for the HOF - loved James Harrison - one of the greatest Steelers of all time!
Awesome Video NFL Throwback
This was a great video. Would love to see the same type of video for London Fletcher.
Τρομερος παικτης που ολοι αγαπησαμε και αγαπαμε. Αξεχαστη δυναμη και ικανοτητα, ηταν ενας παικτης απο την εποχη της χρυσης αμυνας. 💪💥⚡✨🙏
I met James in Hawaii and talked with him , he thought I was a rookie player he didn't meet yet. I didn't know him at first but kept telling him how much I liked how he played "old school" football with the hard hits . He just laughed , especially when I said the reasons for the fines was because of these newer players not being tough enough and being candy a**es .
Great great great grrrreat video.! I literally got chills listening and watching this video. That’s a man right there! 🏈🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Yesssss! STEELERS!!
“ The name on his back” , “ I made my Daddy proud “
This guy was an absolute beast on a football field, scary human being
James Harrison is still a BEAST! 🖤💛
Even as a Giants fan, James is one of my favorite defensive players ever!
James Harrison was the Lawrence Taylor of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Exceptional talent and instilled fear in the opponent.#Steelcurtain
One of the best to ever do it!
what a legend Sir!
This man and the 2008 steelers defense. They CHANGED the game. FOR REAL.
I speak for everyone when i say James Harrison should get into Canton sooner than later
I go back in and make James Harrison in Madden 2003-2006 on the PS2, along with other important and looked over players. Mad respect for this legend.
That was a great time in Steelers history. Salute
I appreciate your guys original content like these player spotlights
One of the best. It’s sad to say but Pittsburgh will never find another one like him. He will forever be missed. Retired and came back still doing damage.
This is why im still wear my harrison jersey till this day
Momma Harrison don’t play 😂! She said you better whoop that ass 😂! I’m dead 😂😂😂
I swear being bald gives you powers
He completely embodied the spirit of the game.
Another player (BEAST) 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉this interview is 🔥 James should be in a movie, his demeanor etc
lmfao at having to look across the line at Joey Porter and James Harrison. Unfair
Harrison's most famous moment is his 100-yard interception return in Super Bowl 43, considered one of the greatest plays in NFL history
One of my favorite videos is of young heyward saying I'm sorry Mr. Harrison
The best stories come from dudes drafted last or not at all I swear.
Him and John Randall are the landmark for undrafted greats.
Your exactly right ! But He is the only one that will ever do what he accomplished🌟With a relentless, unmatched, violent! 1 man attack that could change the game in 1 play.Or the skill to crush and run the football like a grizzly 99 yards for TD ! Belongs in the H O F ! No Doubt
Not even a Pittsburgh fan but this was Beautiful 😭
when Mean Joe Green says "you coulda played with us." you know he's got IT. he was the preeminent OLB of the aughts and teens.
This man was an absolute beast
3.5 sacks 3 fumbles and a pick??’!! In ONE game!?! Insane
James Harrison was the heart and the teeth of those Steelers defenses of the 2000s and 2010s.
DEEBO!!! My All time Steelers favourite
Imagine if he played with the Steel Curtain defence! Nobody would have scored against that defence!

The greatest play in history of football. By who James Harrison........
Loved and appreciate deebo for his contribution. Easily one of the best steelers LB and one of the best to do it. Loved watching him.

Goodell will never let him in canton. His ego has destroyed the game. Deebo is a beast
