33 NFL Players To Help You Survive The Zombie Apocalypse

7. James Harrison

James Harrison can leg press 1,100 pounds. He can squat 700, and squat with one leg. He’s 250 pounds of rock-hard muscle and he adds weight when he does pull-ups because 250 pounds is too easy. He does dips with an extra 200 pounds added. One of the strongest players in the NFL is 38 years old, meaning all that strength is old-man strength, taken from places you can’t reach, places you don’t talk about at parties. All this would make him a great catch on your zombie apocalypse team.

But true bravery comes from pushing against the unknown, against outside forces bigger and more powerful than us. Harrison faces suspension if he doesn’t speak with the league about its investigation into an Al-Jazeera America report which found Harrison and three other players received performance-enhancing drugs. Harrison has invited NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to interview him in his own house, and called for the interview be filmed and televised.

Harrison feels there’s a double-standard at play that requires him to respond to accusations without being consulted on the evidence or lack thereof against him. He’s trying to balance the scales by insisting on fair and open treatment. He won’t stand for inequality just because it’s commonplace. You need someone like that on your side in a zombie apocalypse. Nothing’s more unfair than the world becoming a restaurant for unsleeping, insatiable hordes all wanting to order you off the menu.
