Harris was not chosen in the 1970 NFL Draft out of NAIA school Ouachita Baptist University , but the Cowboys found him and invited him to training camp. He beat out Cowboys third-round draft choice Charlie Waters (who did not crack the starting lineup until the retirement of Cornell Green following the 1974 season ) for the free safety position his rookie year. Military obligation caused him to miss the second half the season, although he returned in time for the Cowboys' victory in Super Bowl VI over the Miami Dolphins . He would eventually team up with Waters to form the top safety duo in the NFL in the 1970's. Harris made it a point to wear the pads of placekickers in order to keep his speed and quickness up. Harris was nicknamed "Captain Crash" by his teammates for his punishing hits and reckless pursuit of ball carriers. Pro Football Hall of Fame safety Larry Wilson said of Harris, "I feel Harris is the finest free safety in the business today. He changed the way the position is being played. You see other teams modeling their free safeties around the way Harris plays the pass, and striking fear in everyone on the field because he hits so hard.". [2 ] The Cowboys' defense ranked in the top 10 every year with him in the lineup. He is one of only 13 players in NFL history to play in five Super Bowls , was chosen for the Pro Bowl six consecutive times and was voted All-Pro four times. Cowboys fans were surprised when Harris announced his retirement following the 1979 season at the age of 31 to concentrate on his oil business ventures. Sports Illustrated writers named him their Football Dream Team free safety . In 2004, he was a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and was added to the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor . He was also selected to the National Football League 1970s All-Decade Team and the Cowboys Silver Season All-Time Team in 1991 . Harris finished his ten NFL seasons with 29 interceptions, which he returned for 281 yards and one touchdown , and 18 fumble recoveries, which he returned for 91 yards. He also gained 418 yards on punt returns and 1,622 yards returning kickoffs .[ 3] Author: Sullivan, Jeff Essay by: Lundquist, Verne Publisher: Pgw Publish Date: Nov 2010 ISBN-13: 9781608870097 ISBN-10: 160887009X Format: Hardcover Number of Pages: 269 Shipping Weight (in pounds): 6.0 Produ... read more
