“When we have each other, we have everything,” Rico Dowdle once said to his girlfriend, Shay Harrison. And, it is indeed evocative of his deep love and respect for her. Dallas Cowboys running back has established himself as the most dominant player in the league. With this, he is making waves for his longest 12-yard run during the ongoing 2024 season.
Not only this, but in the previous season in 2023, he made impressive records with 361 rushing yards and 4 TDS during 16 games. Clearly, with the strong off-field support of his long-time girlfriend, he has continued to astonish his fans. Obviously, no one is as proud of him as Shay Harrison.
Shay Harrison came into the spotlight earlier for her huge support for her NFL boyfriend. And, just like him, Harrison is also a career-oriented person. She is a skincare professional, serving as an Esthetician. Seemingly, she does not prefer revealing much about herself, as evident from her private social media profile.
