Steelers' James Harrison Returns His Sons Trophies Because They Didn't Earn Them

  • 9 years ago
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison knows a thing or two about earning recognition. The All-Pro was a walk-on at Kent State, went undrafted, played in NFL Europe, and was cut by the Baltimore Ravens before making a name for himself in Pittsburgh. Thirteen years after his NFL debut, the 37-year-old is a two-time Super Bowl champion, a five-time Pro-Bowler, and the 2008 AP Defensive Player of the Year. So when he came home over the weekend to find his sons had each received "participation trophies," Harrison thought it time for a lesson.
