Earlier today Derek Rivers Jerseys 2019 , former New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison was announced as the team’s 2019 Hall of Fame selection. The 46-year-old, who spent six of his fifteen years in the NFL playing for the team, was the fans’ choice and will therefore receive the famed red jacket this summer alongside the senior committee’s pick, the late Leon Gray.Like Gray, Harrison was one of the best players his position had to offer during his time in New England. It is therefore not hard to see why he is this year’s Hall of Fame selection.Harrison was the quintessential PatriotIn the 2015 NFL Films documentary Do Your Job, Patriots staff member Ernie Adams pointed that there was “no such thing as a game-day player” and that practice was the foundation for success in the league. When it comes to Harrison, this certainly rings true: according to head coach Bill Belichick White Deatrich Wise Jerseys , he was the best practice player he ever coached — one that brought intensity to every session whether it was training camp or preparing for a playoff contest. Harrison did his job year-round.Harrison was all about winningAfter his release from the San Diego Chargers, the Denver Broncos offered Harrison more money than the Patriots. On top of that, New England also had a pretty good and established strong safety on their roster already in Lawyer Milloy. However, Harrison did not shy away from the competition and ultimately decided to join the team with which he had the best chance of winning the title: he opted to go to New England. A pretty good decision, in hindsight.Harrison was a key member of two Super Bowl teamsAfter getting signed as a free agent, Harrison quickly became a core member of the Patriots’ early dynasty squads: between 2003 and 2008, Harrison was a vocal and emotional leader for New England’s defense and a team captain each year. Along the way Deatrich Wise Jerseys 2019 , he helped the team win Super Bowls 38 and 39 — all while posting terrific numbers: Harrison registered six interceptions and a pair of sacks in the six playoff games leading to New England’s championships number two and three.Harrison was a tone-setterOn three separate occasions, Harrison was voted as the NFL’s dirties player — but his reputation does not properly reflect what he brought to the Patriots (and the Chargers before them): a perennial underdog, the former fifth-round draft pick set the tone for the entire defense by playing a physical, no-nonsense game. Harrison may have crossed the line numerous times, but he also exemplified the blue-collar attitude of the early-2000s Patriots teams.Harrison put up great numbersHarrison’s value to the team goes beyond the statistics, but they certainly cannot be ignored when speaking about his impact: appearing in a combined 72 regular season and playoff games, he registered 514 tackles White Joe Thuney Jerseys , 15 interceptions — 7 of which in the postseason — and 11 sacks. Harrison’s versatility and knack for the football made him a difference-maker for the Patriots and undoubtably played a key role in getting him selected into the team’s Hall of Fame. The New England Patriots’ sixth Super Bowl title is only four days old and still being celebrated, but the team will quickly turn its attention to what lies ahead: the preparations for a 2019 season in which the Patriots will be chased by 31 other clubs trying to get their title. Two big parts of this are free agency, starting in a month, and the draft coming up in late April — and the former will at least to some degree impact the latter.Naturally, it is no surprise to see the defensive line as one of the areas the Patriots might target in the draft from today’s point of view. One of the analysts feeling that way is ESPN’s Todd McShay, who just released his second mock draft of the season and gives New England a defensive tackle with the 32nd overall pick:McShay’s reasoning behind the selection is a sound one considering that the three players he mentions are all scheduled to hit the open market this year. While Trey Flowers is the biggest name of the bunch, Malcom Brown and Danny Shelton are half of New England’s active defensive tackle group and the position might see an overhaul this offseason — not just because they might leave via free agency.While both Brown and Shelton played solid at times (see: Super Bowl 53) Joe Thuney Jerseys 2019 , they are coming off a mostly inconsistent season. Of course this could mean that the Patriots might be able to re-sign them on the cheap, but it appears to be more likely that the team just looks for younger and cheaper options to integrate alongside returning interior linemen Lawrence Guy, Adam Butler and practice squad member Frank Herron.Enter Gerald Willis, a senior defensive tackle out of Miami. The 6’2, 280 lbs lineman comes with plenty of concerns — frequent clashes with coaches and teammates led to his transfer from Florida to Miami in 2015, he also sat out all of 2017 due to “personal reasons” — but is without a doubt a high-upside prospect if he can get it all together. New England would certainly be a solid environment for that to happen, considering the team’s track record.That being said White Michael Bennett Jerseys , Willis might be a bit too much of a gamble for the team to spend a first-round draft pick on him. Not only does he come with red flags, he also a) is a bit undersized and b) has been an inconsistent player during a 2018 season that saw him register 59 tackles and 4.0 sacks. While Willis was a dominant force at times and looks like a player that can thrive from an interior spot with the right coaching, he also has an active off-switch when it comes to his technique.For the Patriots to consider him, Willis will likely have to stand out in interviews and pre-draft drills. Otherwise, New England might just go with other safer options.
