Former Linemen Tells Story Of Finding Out Who James Harrison Was (The Hard Way)

There are a ton of James Harrison stories. Most of them today center around his non-stop work ethic, lifting boulders in weight rooms or tossing around medicine balls on the volleyball court. On the field, he’s remembered for his strip-sacks, vicious hits, and most famously, a certain pick-six in a Super Bowl.

Less often are the stories about the beginning of Harrison’s career. So it was a treat to hear former Buffalo Bills’ guard Ross Tucker share one of those on his podcast. Last week, he was chatting up Mark Schlereth, one of the best linemen in his day, swapping stories about playing against great defenders.
