Class Act Al Harris Released

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!
