Former New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison was named a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2024 on Wednesday.
Harrison began his career with the San Diego Chargers and played with the organization from 1994-2002. He came to New England as a free agent, signing a six-year deal in 2003. He was thought of highly immediately, being named a defensive captain before the start of the 2003 season.
Harrison would go on to become one of the most beloved defensive players in Patriots’ history. He would finish his New England career with 446 tackles and nine sacks in six seasons with the team. He was a key part of two New England Super Bowl wins, including clinching the game-winning interception in Super Bowl XXXIX against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Patriots currently have 11 Pro football Hall of Famers. Here’s to hoping Harrison is the 12th member.
