Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin spoke on Tuesday about what Harris meant to the Steelers organization.
“He’s just a special man, forget the player,” said Tomlin. “Obviously I never knew the player, I know the man and just want an awesome representation of this organization, this community, a guy that embraces all the responsibility that comes with being him.”
Harris helped the Steelers win four Super Bowls. He also earned an MVP title, Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and was a nine-time Pro Bowl selection.
