This week former Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. announced retirement from the NFL after 12 seasons.
Harris delivered his news on Tuesday, saying “I just want to official announce my retirement. Playing 12 years in the league, I’m definitely blessed from an undrafted… $2,000 signing bonus to play 12 years, I am definitely blessed.”
He went on to thank his fans, former teammates, supporters, the other organizations he was a part of after Denver (the Chargers and Saints) and he also specifically thanked Broncos Country for an amazing career on and off the field.
“Especially to the Broncos fans, Broncos Country… was definitely an amazing place to play, to have my career there, play nine years and y’all have been so good to me and my family. I just want to thank y’all for all your support, especially in the community. Things that we do in the community, we still there, we still doing a lot of things, but you continue to support. So, I just want to thank you for that,” said the four-time Pro-Bowler.
Harris also thanked Broncos legend John Elway for believing in him throughout his entire career with Denver.
