And so, to no surprise, Rodney Harrison announced his retirement yesterday. He was jocular and his old self, but he made it clear: He is retired and did not feel the urge to prepare for another season in the NFL. Rodney probably should have retired before the start of the 2008 season. If you saw him like I did, you would have noticed a player who had lost his speed and was caught off guard often by younger receivers. Instead of the first pumping animal we enjoyed for our Super Bowl runs, I noticed he put his hands to his own helmet as if to say..."how could I have missed that?" He was more than a step behind, but he could still hit.
I hope we can find a real menacing hitter like Rodney, he had quite the command of centerfield.
Harrison was smart, tough and a clutch player who served as a great mouthpiece for the defense. He will be sorely missed.
...but Brett, watch how a real pro retires!!!!
