James Harrison has never met Jack Lambert. Both played at Kent State and played linebacker for the Steelers. Each won the NFL's defensive player of the year award. Each has multiple Pro Bowls and Super Bowl rings. They have what might be described as similar dispositions on a football field.

Harrison lives in Franklin Park. Lambert lives near Kittanning.
"I've never talked to him, face to face or on the phone," Harrison said.
He does, however, have a letter from Lambert. The Hall of Fame linebacker wrote to Harrison after the Steelers beat Baltimore, 38-7, at Heinz Field Nov. 5, 2007. It was Harrison's first year as the full-time starter at right outside linebacker, and that may have been the greatest game ever played by a linebacker in Steelers history.
