Born to be a Steeler.

Thirty-nine years later, Harrison has cemented a place in franchise folklore. Now it's time to punctuate that career. Here's how the franchise's all-time sack leader can do just that by fulfilling his two-year contract and aiding the Pittsburgh Steelers' quest for a seventh Super Bowl.

Keep lifting obscene weights: Each day, Harrison uses social media to display his self-proclaimed #oldmanstrength with weightlifting sessions that only a few men on Earth can properly execute.
