During his career, Harrison was selected to two Pro Bowls and received first-team All-Pro honors twice.

Harrison participated in four Super Bowls, winning two with the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVIII and Super Bowl XXXIX.[1][2][3] In recognition of his accomplishments in San Diego and New England, he was named to the 50th Anniversary Teams of both the Chargers and Patriots.
