Al Harris Hang's 'Em Up

Al Harris hangs up the cleats

Looked around and didn't see anyone else post this, so I figured I'd chip in, for once.

A knee injury in November did more than end veteran cornerback Al Harris‘ season, it wound up ending his career.

The Rams announced Wednesday that Harris will call it quits after a 14-year career. Harris was placed on injured reserve for the third straight season after hurting himself against the Browns and will now look to transition into a coaching career.

“That’s just God’s way of telling me it’s time for me to turn the page,” Harris said of the injury. “I had an awesome time. I thank God for Spags giving me the opportunity to come out and I hope I left a positive impression on everybody.”

Harris had 12 tackles in nine games for the Rams this season. For his career, Harris played in 194 games and picked off 21 passes.

Harris was named second team All-Pro in 2007 and made the Pro Bowl in 2007 and 2008 while with the Packers. He played for Green Bay from 2003-2010, but was cut last November after coming off the PUP list. The team still gave him a Super Bowl ring. Harris also played for the Buccaneers, Eagles and Dolphins.

good job. Zero put a note into the shout box. It is nice to have a thread for it as well.

Thanks for all the great memories Al. Your pick 6 against Seattle was outstanding. We you in the Packer HOF someday.

I hope the Packers sign him to a 1 day contract and retire him as a Packer. Class act, provided many fond memories and while it's sad to see him go (out of the NFL), I'm glad he was with us for so long.

One of the smartest things Ted Thompson ever did was to ignore the clamoring of fans and to release Al Harris when the time was right. A couple of other teams thought they were smarter than Ted Thompson and found out he was right all along.

Al Harris had a ton of talent, was tenacious and perseverant, and for that I respect him. However, he was worthless on the field if anyone got in his head, and as much as I admire him for the great things he accomplished, I will never forget those lapses either.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Bowden long snapper Wisconsin. Consensus best LS in college.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : Interesting draft. A bit shocked that we didn't select an early CB. Definitely have Safety help. Pretty happy overall.

dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score
