James Harrison gets Steelers' attention with workouts, and braids his beard

James Harrison likes weights. He eats them, basically, a nice snack between protein shakes. This we know. But Harrison's inspired regimen, shown daily on Instagram, lends a window into his plans to return for a 14th NFL season.

A Harrison retirement, considered a possibility in January, would be a major shock at this point.

The Steelers basically acknowledged this during their post-draft press conference this weekend. General manager Kevin Colbert said he plans for Harrison to be in the lineup for training camp "unless there have been some tweaks in the desert," a comment that drew laughter from the room.
