James Harrison Retires from NFL, Won 2 Super Bowls with Steelers

James Harrison's NFL career is over after 15 years, as the veteran linebacker announced Monday he is retiring.

"I've missed way too much for way too long...and I'm done. Many thanks to my family, coaches, the fans, and everyone who played a role in my football life," Harrison wrote on Instagram.

This isn't the first time Harrison hanged up his cleats, but it's likely to have more finality than his initial flirtation with retirement. That lasted a little over two weeks before he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in September 2014.

Harrison entered rare company by deciding to come back for the 2017 season.
