Former Pittsburgh Steelers OLB James Harrison played an integral part on some of the team’s best defenses throughout the 2000s. Harrison won Defensive Player of the Year and helped lead the Steelers to a win in Super Bowl XLIII, and his former teammate thinks that during Harrison’s peak, he may have been the most dominant player of all-time. In a feature on Harrison by The Athletic’s Dan Pompei, former Steelers S Troy Polamalu said that Harrison is up there with Aaron Donald as the most dominant players in the “history of the game” at his peak.
“At his peak, I don’t think there was anybody more dominant in the history of the game,” Polamalu said.
