Rodney Harrison - Definition and Overview

Rodney Harrison is the starting strong safety for the New England Patriots of the NFL. He was a member of the San Diego Chargers' 1997 #1 ranked defense. Unfortunately, the offense, led by Ryan Leaf(considered by many to be the biggest bust in NFL history), was ranked near the bottom of the league and the team finshed last in the AFC West.

A hard-hitting, intense and emotional, he is considered by some to be a dirty player. Although no records are kept by the league, he is believed to hold the record for most times fined by the league for unnecessary roughness or unsportsman-like conduct.
