Maurkice Pouncey was not at all happy with James Harrison’s decision to leave the Steelers and join the Patriots.
On Tuesday, the Patriots announced they had signed the veteran linebacker after he was released last weekend. It was a decision that angered fans to the point where they trashed their No. 92 jerseys. The news also did not sit well with Pouncey.
On Wednesday, Pouncey went off on Harrison, saying he ruined his legacy with the Steelers.

The Patriots and Steelers have been among the top teams in the AFC for years, with New England winning the last five meetings, including the AFC Championship game earlier this year. Harrison essentially joining the enemy was bound to ruffle feathers in the Steelers locker room and Pouncey has made it clear how he feels about the situation.
