The Indianapolis Colts legend recently revealed what he wants his son to take away from his Hall of Fame game.
“There is one thing I wished he had from my game – you gotta complain for the f—ing ball. He’s gotta complain,” the elder Harrison told ESPN. “Monday morning, if I had five catches for 70 yards, we can’t do nothing else ‘til we have a meeting because I’m not getting the ball. That’s it. Throw me the ball. Period.
“I have a different expectation for my kid. I expect him to win every 1-on-1,” he continued. “I expect him to get open every play. My expectations are right where they need to be.

Harrison was asked to “what degree” did he demand the ball more.
“Not much,” he said with a laugh.
