Class Act Al Harris Released

December 30, 2010 By dolfanjill Leave a Comment

On November 22, 2010, Al Harris personally thanked his fans and former NFL franchise owners of Green Bay in the above newspaper ad. When I saw this and heard he would be signed with my Miami Dolphins I was overwhelmed with excitement. We were so privileged to have him on our 53 man roster.

Although Harris only played three games as a Miami Dolphin, I am proud that he played for my team!

Thank you – Harris for showing that there are still players- professional players, that can remain grounded and remember their fans.

Thank you – Harris for showing appreciation!

You, Al Harris are the epitome of what I want my son to see in a player; chivalry and all. You are an Athlete!

You deserve a NFL Fans thank you back.

Thank You, Al Harris from a Miami Dolphins fan and one of the biggest fans of Traditional Football.

Good luck and Happy New Year!

Harris joined the Dolphins on November 10, 2010, just two days after the Green Bay Packers released him. The Two-time Pro Bowl veteran was signed to replace Jason Allen and provide depth in the secondary. He had three tackles in the three games before experiencing a hamstring injury which landed him on injured reserve Dec. 7. was signed. ( Harris spent this regular season on the Packers physically unable to perform list recovering from a knee injury suffered in late 2009.)

*Even though the Dolphins released Harris, he would have been a free agent in the 2011 off-season. Harris will be pro-rated $875,000 for his three games of play; a portion of $1.75 million or one-year contract with the Dolphins.

Career Notes:

Harris has recorded 21 interceptions, returning four for touchdowns and has deflected 142 passes in his 13 seasons with the NFL.

He is famed for intercepting a game-winning touchdown in overtime in the 2003 NFC wildcard round. He took back Matt Hasselbeck’s pass for 52 yards ending overtime at Lambeau Field; first ever NFL overtime interception return for a touchdown.
