Steelers' James Harrison Responds to Travis Kelce
The Pittsburgh Steelers legend sent a message back to Travis Kelce.
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers legend James Harrison was brought up during a recent episode of the New Heights Podcast, when Travis Kelce told the story of his "welcome to the NFL" moment.
In the story, Kelce details talking trash to Harrison during a game, only for Harrison to come back and beat him for a sack.
"I’ll tell you what, I talked smack to the wrong guy. James Harrison, man. I ended up getting his wrath," Kelce said. "He played the outside backer position where he’d be sometimes be over number two in the slot. We’re playing in Pittsburgh. I’m talking a little bit of s*** to him. He’s staring at me with the black visor. Can’t really see if he’s looking at me but I know he’s looking at me. Because he’s not saying anything.
"Couple quarters go by. I’m looking in at the ball because it’s a silent cadence. Just absolutely smoked me off the line of scrimmage. F***** up the whole play. I’m going to (quarterback Alex Smith) like, ‘I don’t what you want me to do there.’ I’m looking at the ball. He’s looking at my blindside. Obviously never talked s*** to him again."
The story made its way around the internet and was caught by Harrison himself. He made sure to send his thoughts back, letting Kelce know it was nothing but business during that game.
"Just business, nothing personal," Harrison wrote.
This definitely isn't the first welcome to the league moment Harrison has been a part of, and Kelce learned a valuable lesson not to talk smack to one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. Still, fans are thankful he did, because it led to a great story between the two.
