Harris almost quit.

This needed to be posted.
We live in world where we make heroes out of athletes who flex their muscles in the end zone, talk smack on Twitter, ride around in Bentley’s then throw a little money at a charity to get a tax write off for a pat on the back.
Then you have this guy. Takes a real man to bring mental health center stage in todays NFL. Good for him.

Re: Harris almost quit.

We need him back in the biggest way. I don’t think we’ve seen what greatness he can bring in the punt return game.
When it comes to punt returns, the only thing stopping him from becoming the greatest to ever do it is opportunities. The same can be said for his deep threat ability.

The strong will survive and persevere, and real good ones even grow from adversity. Those are the kind of characters you want on your team.

Re: Harris almost quit.

“My mindset after that was, ‘I need to make everybody feel me.’ Every time I step on the field, I have to — not prove them wrong — but prove myself right. I know I could’ve played at the Division I level.

“I knew the talent I had and the God-given ability I was blessed with. I used it all as fuel and motivation to be as positive as possible. Nothing good ever came from being negative.”
This man just jumped a few spots up my favorite current players list.

Thanks Dude for posting this. Not only for recognizing a great player with a great character but for recognizing the mental strain it takes in this life and how people choose to address it.
