Meet Erika Harrison, wife of former NFL star Rodney Harrison. Erika and Rodney met at Western Illinois University.

Rodney says, “I met her at Western and had a mad crush on her. I’d follow her around, but she was seeing someone. One day we were walking to biology, and I said, ‘You know class is canceled today.’ I just said it for fun. So she went back to her room and missed it. Turns out we had a pop quiz that day, so she couldn’t stand me for the longest time. But I was persistent, and eventually she opened her heart and the rest is history”.

The couple has two sons, Christian and Rodney Jr., and a daughter, Mikala.
