“Rodney personified an era of Chargers football defined by physicality, emotion, relentless effort, toughness and grit,” said President of Football Operations John Spanos per the team’s official media release. “For nearly a decade, he gave everything he had to the Chargers, establishing a standard of accountability and setting the bar for competitive greatness. He made an immediate impact his rookie year, helping lead us to an unforgettable AFC Championship victory in Pittsburgh and appearance in Super Bowl XXIX. The fire that burned inside Rodney was the stuff of legend and, as is the case with all the great ones, it never once faded over the course of his career.
Harrison enjoyed 15 years of productive football in his career, nine of which came with the Chargers after they drafted him in the fifth round of the 1994 NFL Draft out of Western Illinois. Due to his high level of physicality he played with, Harrison was nickname “The Hitman” as he made plays all over the field, not just in the secondary. He racked up 21.5 sacks and 22 tackles for loss, the former of which is a Chargers record for a defensive backs. Harrison also forced eight fumbles and scored three times on defense, two via interception returns and one fumble returned for a touchdown.
In 1998, Harrison earned his first All-Pro selection and Pro Bowl nomination after posting 114 tackles, three interceptions, and a forced fumble. The year prior, Harris scored via interception return, fumble return, and kickoff return, making him the first player to ever do so all in the same season.
By the time he retired, Harrison had racked up 30.5 sacks and 34.5 interceptions, becoming the first player to achieve both marks in a career. As of this day, he is joined only by former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis in that group.
Congratulations Rodney on a tremendous honor!
