By NFL outside linebacker standards, Jarvis Joneshttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/jarvis-jones/92ceebdf-6088-4872-abf0-69a36014c8d2/) is a sophomore and James Harrisonhttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/james-harrison/f955db12-de79-47a3-9c61-d50c2583d49b/) is a Phi Beta Kappa. So when Jones settles in next to Harrison in the linebackers’ meeting room at the Steelers’ practice facility – something Jones always makes a point of doing – he does what comes naturally.

He cheats.

“Absolutely,” Jones admitted. “You have to. He has four sacks already, more than me.”

Harrison was talked out of retirement and re-signed by the Steelers in the wake of Jones suffering a broken wrist on Sept. 21 at Carolina. Ever since then class has been in session as Jones convalesces.

“I see some of the stuff he writes down (in meetings) and I take heed to that,” Jones continued. “If he’s writing it down then I need to write it down, too. It must be important. I pick up little things from him, the way he takes notes, the way he approaches his work in the building, on the field. Just little things, different techniques he uses, I just pay attention to a lot of it.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

This is exactly what I was hoping could happen in training camp. Better late than never I guess.

This.

Most of Harrison's game is built on brute strength and determination. I don't see Jones as a weight room guy, but if he can copy Harrison's non-stop motor he may turn out to be worthy of his drsft status.

It may have happened earlier , but Harrison was not here then

Put McCullers on Jarvis' back and he's forced into retirement.
