One of the No Fly Zone’s designers is officially retiring.
In an interview this week with The Denver Gazette, former Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. announced his official retirement from the NFL. Harris states that the decision was made as a result of his being unsigned for the 2023 season due to a lack of interest from NFL teams.
In the interview, Harris stated, “I just waited a year and I stayed in shape, but I realized that everybody was pretty much moving on with the younger players, the younger wave.” Thus, I reasoned that it would be ideal to simply stop it.
Harris continued, “I was able to accomplish pretty much everything in my career.” “Defence Player of the Year was the only honour I was not the winner of. The most important thing was being named to the NFL’s 2010s All-Decade [Team]. I truly feel fortunate, especially considering that I entered undrafted. One thing I’m glad about is that I was able to overcome something I had to fight through my entire career.
The 34-year-old Harris signed as an undrafted free agent with the Broncos in 2011 to start his NFL career. With Denver, he would eventually develop into one of the league’s best defensive backs, being selected to four Pro Bowls and appearing on three All-Pro teams. In addition, Harris was a pillar of the Broncos’ superior secondary, known as “The No Fly Zone,” which propelled the group to victory in Super Bowl 50 in the 2015 campaign.
Harris signed a free agent contract with the Los Angeles Chargers after the 2019 season, leaving Denver. Before playing his final NFL season in 2022 with the New Orleans Saints, he was there for two seasons. Harris has finally made the decision to call it quits on a career that saw him win innumerable honours and establish a reputation as the greatest troll of all time.
