Rodney Harrison remains one of the hardest hitters in the league. He’s never missed a game as a Patriot, and was needed on virtually every down with this tattered secondary. For the second straight year, he led all NFL defensive backs in tackles (138), including a career-best 20 against the Steelers in Week 8. He’s already the franchise leader in playoff interceptions, notching one against the Colts, one against the Steelers (returned 87 yards for a TD), and two against the Eagles.
