Player Quote by Bill Belichick
“I have all the respect in the world for Rodney Harrison. In terms of his commitment to the game, his work ethic and his attitude, he's an exemplary player, but I think we have a lot of players on our defense I'd say similar things about. He works hard, he's aggressive, he's tough and he puts as much of his heart into the game as he possibly can. He's a team captain and a leader. I don't want to minimize his role, but we have other players who fit that same description.”
