David Harris' run in the NFL has wrapped up.
On Friday, the longtime linebacker announced his retirement from football following 11 seasons—10 of which were spent with the New York Jets.
The Jets acquired Harris in the second round of the 2007 draft, and that selection paid immediate dividends. As a rookie, the linebacker racked up five sacks and 127 total tackles.
That season's production proved to be a sign of what was to come over the remainder of Harris' tenure in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Although he was never selected to a Pro Bowl, Harris was a steady force on a Gang Green defense that made two AFC Championship Game appearances and emerged as one of the league's most ferocious units under head coach Rex Ryan.
