Testimonials from players and coaches
"You always look at Al Harris because he’s the best press corner in the game right now."
- Terrence Newman, Dallas Defensive Back |
“He really has the ability to shut a guy down, he's so strong at the point. When he gets his hands on them, he's very physical, he can run, pretty much, with anybody. I'm just very impressed with his ability to shut a guy down.”
- Head Coach Mike McCarthy |
"Al Harris is the most underrated player in the NFL and the best corner in the league."
- Put Up Your Dukes, Roy Williams for Jamie Dukes, NFL Network
"Everybody asks me who I think the best corner in the NFL is and Al Harris is the best corner in the NFL. I love to play against him twice a year and it's always a matchup. He's going to win plays, I'm going to win plays. We're just out there competing…
“He's 8 feet, 12 inches. His arms are 36 feet long and he's so strong with those long arms. His arms drag on the floor and when he puts those arms on you, you're not going anywhere. It's really like a boxing match. You have to fight, using your hands. He's so skinny, yet so strong and that's what makes him so good…
"I vote for him for the Pro Bowl year in and year out…He will shut down that No. 1 receiver, whoever he is matched up with. They may leave the game with two catches for 29 yards. That's just the type of player he is…
"He's my measuring stick for how good I can be against him because like I said, I think he's the best corner in this league."
- Roy Williams, Detroit Wide Receiver |
"His ability to win at the line of scrimmage and his ability to transition if he doesn’t, puts him in the same class as Champ (Bailey). He can do the same things that Champ can do. Those are the only two who I’ve seen who are able to do that. That’s why I put him up there with the rest of them. He’s ridiculous. He’s ridiculously good."
- Chad Johnson, Cincinnati Wide Receiver |
"I feel the same way about him," Woodson said. "You look at the way me and him have performed throughout the season, you look at other corners around the league, there's not a better tandem of corners in the league. Forget about the record if it's for the best people out there…
"One thing about the Pro Bowl that's different than the NBA is, it's not all fans. With 75% of the votes coming from the players and coaches, we should be in. But who knows?"
- Charles Woodson, Green Bay Cornerback |
