LATROBE, Pa. -- James Harrison walked off the practice field on Sunday dripping in sweat. And he didn’t even take part in the Steelers first practice of training camp.
Harrison, wearing a Steelers hoodie and sweat pants, still got in a workout though and his attire on the hot summer day added to him looking like he had just been through a regular season game.
“I work out in my sweats,” said Harrison. “It makes me burn more calories.”
It’s no surprise the more you look around the Steelers weight room these days, the more you see guys doing the same thing. Because Harrison is a leader, a lot of that by the example he sets in his workouts, and guys want to do what he is doing.
Rookie linebacker Bud Dupree said Harrison is one of the players who has helped him with the adjustment to the NFL, someone he looks to as the ‘father-figure’ in the linebacker room. Harrison got a chuckle out of that.
“I could probably have kids his age if I would have started earlier,” he joked.
And then, he talked a little more about that role.
“I have been in that position before. I am used to that I guess,” said Harrison. “It’s just a veteran leadership role, nothing more or less than it was before. I may be giving more advice than I did in the past as far as what to do to be a professional and stay in the league longer because guys see how long I have been I in the league.”
