PITTSBURGH -- James Harrison roiled Steelers players by forcing his way out of Pittsburgh and signing with the New England Patriots in late December.
Fittingly, Harrison helped New England reach the Super Bowl by sacking Blake Bortles in the AFC title game. This week, he's one of the Patriots' most entertaining storylines.
The Steelers' locker room was quite the scene on Dec. 27, when center Maurkice Pouncey and others blasted their longtime teammate.
"He erased himself," Pouncey told reporters. "He erased his own legacy here."
Pouncey took a softer approach a month later from the Pro Bowl, explaining to ESPN exactly what he meant by the line.
