There's apparently a joke now going around the Pittsburgh Steelers after former wide receiver Antonio Brown accused former linebacker James Harrison of giving him CTE. 

Brown went live on Instagram and claimed Harrison wore an illegal helmet that caused him to get Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy . And since then, Harrison and others in the Steelers community, including former offensive lineman Ramon Foster, have made jokes about how dangerous Harrison was. 

Harrison was known to be one of the scariest players during his time, but it likely had more to do with winning Defensive Player of the Year and posting insane workout videos than it was being a dirty player. 

Harrison has kept up with the news, posting a reply to Brown's claims and then a reaction to Foster's joke.
