Two-time Pro Bowler and potential hall of fame safety Rodney Harrison has retired from professional football after 15 years in the National Football League.

“I am done, and I am very much so at peace with that,” Harrison told reporters. “Football has been good to me. I’ve worked hard; I’ve played hard. I’ve done some things that I never dreamt I could do, and now it’s time to move forward to the next phase of my life.”

Harrison will be remembered as a very hard hitter who had a reputation around the league as a “dirty player”.

“People have called me a dirty player. I’m a very passionate player,” he said. I also understand that this is not volleyball. This is a very violent, physical game, and if you hit someone in the mouth, they’re not going to be your friend. ”

It didn’t take Harrison long to find a new job; he will be joining Tony Dundy as an NFL analyst for NBC Sports this fall.
