Former Patriots safety Rodney Harrison has switched positions for NBC

During his Hall of Fame-worthy 15-year NFL career, Rodney Harrison played one primary role: hard-hitting safety.

Now 48 years old, Harrison is in his 13th season with NBC’s “Football Night in America” broadcast. But this year, his role has changed — and once in a while it might even require him to ask a hard-hitting question or two.

After 12 years of fine work and candor as a studio analyst (Harrison did the job remotely last season), he is on-site this season along with Jac Collinsworth at the venue of the weekly “Sunday Night Football” matchup.

“It’s going great personally,” said Harrison.
