Dwight Harrison

Dwight Webster Harrison (born October 12, 1948) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive back and wide receiver for 10 seasons in the National Football League (NFL) with the Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Colts, and Oakland Raiders.

Born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, he played college football for the Texas A&I Javelinas (now Texas A&M–Kingsville)

Harrison was selected in the second round of the 1971 NFL draft (35th overall) by the Denver Broncos. He was traded in mid-season in 1972 from Denver to Buffalo for wide receiver Haven Moses.

Harrison suffers from severe post-concussion syndrome, including severe depression, and was said to be living in a trailer in Texas without running water. His NFL pension had been cut off, and in August of this year, he was one of the plaintiffs in a concussion lawsuit against the NFL.

Harrison continues to fight for benefits NFL took away for the last 21 years.
