NBC Sports analyst Rodney Harrison is doing a mea culpa after bizarrely trying to get Kansas City Chiefs tackle Chris Jones to bash Zach Wilson on Sunday.
Harrison reached out to the Jets on Monday morning to apologize to Wilson for his comments on the “Sunday Night Football” postgame show, head coach Robert Saleh said. “Ron is a good man,” Saleh said. “And whatever he’s getting for that, it’s water under the bridge. I think he’s handled it exactly the way he’s supposed to.”
Wilson had one of the best games he’s ever had in Jet uniform on Sunday night, leading New York to a second-half comeback against the defending Super Bowl champions.However, that didn’t seem to stop Harrison, who played 15 years in the NFL, from trying to goad Jones into an awkward conversation about the Jets QB. It started with Harrison asking if Wilson had been better than anticipated, adding “and you can be honest” at the end.
Jones didn’t take the bait and praised Wilson, who the Chiefs’ tackle said was getting better each week.“But watching that tape, man, you gotta look at this dude and say, ‘Oh, he is garbage.’ Like we should really tear him apart,” Harrison said.October 2, 2023 Saleh took the high ground on Monday when asked if he felt the comments had been piling on to Wilson.
“It’s part of the profession. Fair, unfair,” Saleh said. “It’s not, even though it feels personal, it’s not personal. You can’t take it personal. People are trying to eat too and trying to…We get it. It’s just part of the business, part of the profession.”The comments didn’t sit well with Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons or fellow former NFLer turned broadcaster Matt Leinart.
