If Bill Belichick had his wish, Rodney Harrison will be announced as a member of the 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame class in early February.
The former NFL safety, who spent six seasons with the New England Patriots under Belichick, was announced as a finalist earlier this week. Harrison is among 15 modern-era players whose names are on the ballot — the first time he has advanced so far since becoming eligible in 2014.
For his long-time head coach, the next step should only be a formality. On Friday, he went into great detail explaining why.
