James Harrison has great reason for why he wears sweatshirt to work out

Steelers linebacker James Harrison may be 38 years of age, but plays like he’s 30.

Harrison, one of the oldest defensive players in the NFL, has recorded five sacks and one interception so far this season, and has racked up plenty of pressures and hits on opposing quarterbacks as well. Remember, it’s not all about sack totals, and Harrison is a big reason the Steelers’ defense has been playing much better over the past month.

Harrison is incredible shape for his age. He’s currently listed at 275 pounds, and it’s clear that most of that is muscle. We’ve all seen his gigantic arms.

Harrison’s teammates have seen them, too, apparently. He recently revealed that the reason why he always wears a sweatshirt when he works out is because his arms are “so damn big,” adding that his arms “disturbed people” and discouraged them from coming into the weight room to work out.

We don’t blame his teammates for noticing, as his arms really are intimidating. They deserve their own zip code.
