Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker James Harrison doesn’t look like somebody who was retired a little over a year ago. He doesn’t look like a 37-year-old, either, but he is. In spite of that, he is still playing well, and contributing, a fact that can be attributed partially to his willingness to accept a reduced role in a rotation.
He may not have quite the same impactful play that he used, at least with regularity, but he is a consistent and reliable performer for this defense at a position where such qualities are required.
He still draws holding calls from time to time, however, which occurred in the first quarter against the Chargers on Monday night.
