One of the most fearsome defensive players in the NFL throughout his playing career, James Harrison of the Pittsburgh Steelers regularly intimidated top offensive players, such as superstar tight end Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.
In a recent New Heights podcast episode, Travis Kelce talked candidly about an on-field incident he had with Harrison that he now deeply regrets.
According to Travis Kelce, who revealed this to his brother Jason Kelce on their well-liked podcast via Matthew Luciow’s Twitter account, he was trash talking Harrison during a game and quickly regretted it.
“A couple of quarters pass,” stated Travis Kelce. “I’m staring in at the ball because of its quiet rhythm. Simply blew me away at the line of scrimmage. F***** the entire production. I’m going to Alex as if I have no idea what you need me to accomplish there. I have my eyes on the ball. He’s staring down my ass. Needless to say, never spoke s*** to him once more.
Travis Kelce, the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year and four-time All-Pro linebacker, is probably not the only one who had the similar experience of becoming a little too mouthy with Harrison.
Harrison made his greatest influence with the Steelers and is regarded as one of the best defensive players to have ever played for the team, even though he did travel the league a little in his latter years. Harrison may perhaps be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
