For six years, Rodney Harrison was the heart and soul of the New England Patriots’ defensive backfield. An emotional, hard-hitting safety capable of playing multiple positions in the secondary, Harrison helped the Patriots win two Super Bowls — ans throughout his tenure with the team, established himself as a prototypical member of the early dynasty Patriots: the six-time captain was a no-nonsense, blue-collar defender.
Yesterday, Harrison added another accolade to his already impressive résumé: the fans voted him to the Patriots Hall of Fame as the 29th overall inductee. Shortly after the announcement was made official, Harrison went on a conference call with the New Engalnd media to talk about the experience and also reflect back upon his Patriots career, which spanned from his signing as a free agent in 2003 until his retirement following the 2008 season.
