Al Harris retires as a Packer

It was announced today that former Packer cornerback Al Harris has decided to retire from the NFL and not only retire, but retire as a 'Green Bay Packer.'

Al Harris was one of my favorite players growing up.  I remember meeting him at training camp one summer.  Despite the pending mob of autograph seekers, he took the time to have a conversation with me before biking back to Lambeau Field.  Meant the world to a kid like myself.

How could anyone forget the famous overtime playoff game vs. the Seattle Seahawks in 2003 and Matt Hasselbeck saying, "We want the ball and we're gonna score."  Al Harris had different plans.

Al Harris was a good player. Class act. And a Green Bay Packer. I look forward to the day he is inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame (maybe Matt Hasselbeck can introduce him).
