WATCH: former Dallas Cowboy Cliff Harris discussed the passing of his old teammate Rayfield Wright, who died Thursday at the age of 76.
-- In an exclusive interview with CBS 11, former Dallas Cowboy Cliff Harris discussed the passing of his old teammate Rayfield Wright, who died Thursday at the age of 76.
"I know that we lost a great man, not only a great football player. He was larger than life, he was such a compassionate, giving guy. He and I both have our charities we support and I came to his events, and he would come to mine," Harris said."I knew that he was having these seizures. But it took me by surprise, I just expected him -- because he was so big, and so strong -- he was going to come out of this, but he didn't. And that's the way life is.
Harris reflected on their time on the team together, laughing about the times he and Wright along with Charlie Waters and Jethro Pugh would purposefully greet each other by their other teammate's names.
