A couple of days after he was named a finalist for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the first time in his career, Patriots legend Rodney Harrison received a ringing endorsement to get the honor from his former head coach.
Bill Belichick praised the two-time Super Bowl-winning safety for a few minutes at his press conference on Friday, telling reporters why he believes Harrison should be honored in Canton, Ohio, next summer.
“Best safety I’ve coached,” Belichick said. “There’s a couple other ones that I’ve coached that are in the Hall of Fame. But fantastic player, person, great competitor, could do it all, and was one of the most versatile players I’ve ever coached.
