Former first-round pick Kwame Harris was better at committing penalties than blocking defensive linemen during five years with the 49ers. Harris spent last year out of the NFL after an 11-start, 2008 season in Oakland.
Now, according to Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times, Harris “is apparently retiring.”
Released Thursday by the UFL’s Florida Tuskers, Harris is expected to call it quits after appearing in 86 career NFL games, including 55 starts. The 26th overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, Harris was a major disappointment in the pros.
Harris was replaced on the Jay Gruden-coached Tuskers’ roster by former Steelers offensive guard Darnell Stapleton.

Sad to see the end of a record setting career.
Only player in league history with more false starts than career starts.
Word to the wise…never draft an NFL lineman whos main hobby is playing the piano.
This guy is barely 30 and he’s calling this a retirement? This is more like a career change. Just because you got the rare chance to play football for a living for 6 years and didn’t live up to anyones expectations doesn’t mean you get to go out in glory and call it your retirement. Hope his next job choice is something that doesn’t have very many rules, as he obviously wasn’t very good at remembering the ones in the NFL!
NO MEANS NO KWAME!
In other news….
Who cares about this, post something we would all care about.
Again?
yet another reason for a salary cap.
good luck in the future.
hahahah solid burn
This is like when Ryan Leaf “retired”. Thanks for all the memories from your HOF career, Kwame. I guess eventually you have to hang up the cleats.
Kwame Harris = Born offside
He’ll no longer have to put up with his teammates scratching “Kwummy Harris” on all his equipment with a Sharpie.
Even the UFL didn’t want him…thats bad.
The revolving door finally quits. Too bad we couldn’t have traded him to the Redskins like Brandon Lloyd and fleeced them again…
He’s not retireing, hes graduating?
no one named kwame ever works out in their job.
Thankfully another dreg meets the dung heap.
