Steelers legend James Harrison's wild interaction with K Chris Boswell resurfaces

A hilarious and frightening interaction between Steelers kicker Chris Boswell and legend James Harrison has begun to resurface and make waves on social media.

The viral story in question is from a January episode of The Christian Kuntz Podcast, where Boswell revealed how his first interactions with Harrison went.

“I got to go home for the weekend and come back, and Deebo, my very first practice, stood over the holder,” Boswell said. “So the holder’s waiting to get a snap, standing over his shoulder, and [James Harrison says], ‘I dare you to miss this kick. I dare you to miss it. You miss this kick, you wash my back in the shower.’

“Even after, I obviously had a decent season that year, but team meeting room, when I used to go, I would sit here and Deebo would sit here — and he would just stare at me. Mike Tomlin’s up there, giving his team presentation, and he’s just staring at me like this the entire meeting. Just intimidating.”

As hilarious as Boswell’s retelling of the story was, he admitted that the Steelers’ kicking woes likely painted the positional group in a bad light — clearly in the crosshairs of Harrison, where no sane man wants to be.

Harrison’s intimidation may have helped create one of the best to ever do it, as Boswell has an opportunity to become the most accurate kicker in NFL history this season — just 1.1% behind former Ravens K Justin Tucker’s 89.1% all-time record.
