PITTSBURGH – If given the chance, James Harrison has no problem putting a big hit on Peyton Manning.
The Steelers’ star linebacker known for delivering bone-crunching tackles couldn’t care less that Manning is making a comeback after sitting out last year with a neck injury.
“I would tackle him the same way I tackle anybody else,” Harrison said. “What’s the difference? There’s no concern (on my part). He’s healthy. He’s fine.”
Manning, a future Hall of Fame quarterback, will make his Broncos debut Sunday night against the Steelers. He spent the first 14 years of his pro career with the Indianapolis Colts.
“I see him as a quarterback that I’m trying to get to, as I see him as any other quarterback that I’d be trying to get to,” Harrison said. “Injury has no bearing on it. He’s a healthy individual. There’s nothing wrong with him. He’s had surgery, as many other players have had in the NFL.”
