Coming out of Oregon in 2002, the Detroit Lions happily selected quarterback Harrington with the third-overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft. Based on his college success and projected potential, the Lions thought they had found their quarterback of the future. But Harrington struggled mightily during his time in Detroit. In his four seasons with the Lions, Harrington threw 60 touchdowns and 62 interceptions while compiling an 18-37 record.
