Vikings’ Harrison Smith makes history in first half again the Jets

Vikings safety Harrison Smith has been known to make a play or two during his 13-year career for the team. He has made enough plays that he has always been considered a potential for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

On Sunday against the Jets, he made another play that earned him entry into an exclusive club in NFL history. All but one club member is currently in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

With a sack on Aaron Rodgers of the Jets, Harrison Smith became the seventh defensive back in NFL history with 30+ interceptions and 20+ sacks in a career. That note was shared by the Vikings Communications department and provided a graphic with the names he joins in that elite club.

Being placed alongside the likes of Rodney Harrison, Ronde Barber, Leroy Butler, and Charles Woodson is always a good thing. Vikings fans aren’t sure how much longer he will be in purple, but they enjoy having him every Sunday.
