GREEN BAY – Tim Harris terrorized quarterbacks. Greg Jennings made quarterbacks look good, when they weren't doing the same for him.

On Thursday, they were on the same side of the ball, becoming the 165th and 166th members of the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.

"This has all been very overwhelming. This is ... I have no words. This is amazing. This is awesome," said Jennings, who rarely can't think of something to say.

Also Thursday, Dr. Patrick McKenzie, the Packers' team physician, received the Bob Harlan Leadership Award, given to individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership qualities, over and above the call of duty during or after their career or association with the Packers. McKenzie joined the team in 1991, when his second opinion on Brett Favre's chronic hip condition cleared the Packers to trade for the future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback.

A linebacker, Harris was drafted in the fourth round of the 1986 draft. He played half of his 10-year career with the Packers, and recorded 55 of 81 career sacks while in Green Bay. He ranks fourth in all-time sacks for the Packers, and recorded 13½ sacks or more three times, including one year with San Francisco.

Harris was named to the Pro Bowl in 1989, when he had 19½ sacks, still the single-season Packers record. For context, defensive end Robert Brown, who played in front of Harris, had the next-most sacks with three. Harris credited Brown with making the record-setting year possible.

"It had a lot to do with Robert Brown. He helped free me up a lot," Harris said. "I told him if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be in this situation."

Harold Beane, who was Harris' presenter Thursday, remembered the first time he saw Harris play when he transferred to his high school.

"He could only play one game and in that one game, he recorded 22 tackles," he said.

They met on campus and have been friends since. "This is my guy. I'd slide down a razor blade butt-naked for him," Beane said.

Harris remembered when he was a rookie, head coach Forrest Gregg told him if he didn't do well in training camp, he'd be on the next bus back to Memphis and he could play with Elvis Presley.

"It's very special to see yourself honored like that by the Green Bay Packers," Harris said of his selection.

Jennings was drafted in the second round of the 2006 NFL draft. He spent seven of his 10 years in Green Bay, where he played with Favre, who he credits with jumpstarting his professional career, and with future hall of famer Aaron Rodgers. During his time in Green Bay, Jennings caught 425 passes for 6,537 yards and 53 touchdowns, including two in Super Bowl XLV. He was named to the Pro Bowl during the Packers' Super Bowl season of 2010 and the following year when Green Bay had a 15-1 regular-season record. He is 10th in all-time receptions and seventh in touchdowns among Packers receivers.

Jennings' advice to the young receivers on this year's team: "Catch the ball."

He said he told himself, as a rookie, "When (Favre) drops back, catch the ball. I don't care if I ran the wrong route. I don't care what the defender did to disrupt me. At the end of the day, I wanted him to know I was going to catch the ball.

"That would be my advice. They brought you in for a reason. Be who they believe you can be. And add that value."

Morgan Burnett, who played with Jennings, said he was a professional who did it the right way. "(He) brought his hard hat to work everyday. He was a guy that ran every route the same. He came ready to compete," Burnett said during a press conference Wednesday on his retirement as a Packers player.

Asked what he would remember most about being with the Packers, other than winning a Super Bowl, Jennings didn't hesitate: "Running out of the tunnel."

"The reason why the tunnel was so significant to me is that when you are running out of that tunnel as a player, all you can think about is all the guys — the Tim Harrises, the Bart Starrs — all the guys that have done it and have taken that field before you, and that's who you represent. When you have such a history and have established a culture and a standard, you better live up to that standard."
