Rodney Harrison, Leon Gray inducted into Patriots Hall of Fame

FOXBOROUGH — When Rodney Harrison landed at Logan Airport on a March day in 2003, he didn’t come dressed for the weather.

Wearing shorts and a T-shirt, the longtime Chargers player showed up for his free agent visit in temperatures that Patriots owner Robert Kraft recalled were in the 30s.

“Today, 16 years later, I think it’s time we finally give him a jacket,’’ Kraft said Monday.

And not just any jacket — a red one that only members of the Patriots Hall of Fame own.

In front of fans, former players, family members, and more, the Patriots inducted Harrison into their Hall of Fame on Monday outside Gillette Stadium.
