Parise said Harrison, who was previously cut three times by the Steelers, has a deal with PLB Sports to make a signature line of cereal and peanut butter.
Parise said the company is working on Harrison's "Crunch" cereal boxes now and they'll hit the market in the next couple weeks. The peanut butter will debut in the summer before training camp.

Parise also said they've had initial conversations about copyrighting things related to the great run back.
