In an effort to find out who’s the dirtiest player in the NFL, ESPN.com surveyed head coaches and asked them to name just one player who’s the dirtiest of them all.
Of the 17 coaches who supplied an answer, 11 of them chose Patriots safety Rodney Harrison.
The coaches answered anonymously and didn’t explain their answers, but this is obviously no surprise, as Harrison has a reputation for taking cheap shots.
However, ESPN.com’s Mike Sando reports that there’s one NFL player who has more personal foul penalties than Harrison over the last seven seasons: Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson, with 17. Wilson didn’t get a single vote for dirtiest player, and neither did Saints defensive end Will Smith, who is tied with Harrison for the second-most personal fouls (14) in the NFL since 2001.
Cowboys safety Roy Williams got two votes for league’s dirtiest player, and Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce, Steelers receiver Hines Ward, Titans center Kevin Mawae and Bears center Olin Kreutz each got one.

Well, I have heard defensive players say he's a dirty blocker and a cheap shot artist. I disagree, but that opinion has been floated out there.

Yeah I understand the reasoning behind it. Anytime you're a physical player though, like Ward, Adrian Wilson, even Rodney Harrison you're going to be thought of as dirty. When you're just playing as physical as you can sometimes it ends up looking bad...like late hits or unjustified rules like hands under the mask poking guys eyes out. lol jk
