Hard-hitting safety Rodney Harrison, who spent the final six seasons of a 15-year NFL career in New England, has been voted into the Patriots Hall of Fame.
Harrison topped fellow finalists Richard Seymour and Mike Vrabel in fan voting. The trio had been voted finalists by the Patriots Hall of Fame selection committee.
“I’m very grateful to the fans,’’ Harrison said. “The fact that the fans voted me in means more to me than the Pro Football Hall of Fame because the fans got a chance to see me play every week. They got a chance to see the story, see the injuries and the adversity and the comeback and the plays that were made and the passion that was shown.
