Jackie Harris
Jackie Bernard Harris (born January 4, 1968) is an American former professional football player who was a tight end in the National Football League (NFL) for the Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Oilers / Titans and Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at what is now known as the University of Louisiana at Monroe.
Harris attended Dollarway High School, where he played football and basketball, and ran track. He was a two-way player at wide receiver and defensive back. As a senior, he helped lead the team to the state finals and earned all-state honors.
Harris accepted a football scholarship from the Northeast Louisiana Indians (now the University of Louisiana at Monroe). As a sophomore, he became a starter at tight end, catching passes from future NFL quarterback Stan Humphries. They were members of the team that won the 1987 NCAA Division I-AA Football Championship Game. As a junior, Harris missed half the season with a knee injury, posting 43 receptions for 512 yards and two touchdowns. He had a school and conference record with 16 receptions against Lamar University. As a senior, he collected 54 receptions for 661 yards and seven touchdowns. He finished as the school's all-time leading receiver with 147 receptions for 2,107 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Harris was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round (102nd overall) of the 1990 NFL draft. In 1991, he was fourth on the team with 24 receptions for 264 yards and three touchdowns while making 6 starts in two tight end formations.
In 1992, he became a full-time starter until the seventh game of the season and still registered 55 receptions, which ranked second on the team and second in the NFL for tight ends. He received NFC Offensive Player of the Week after tallying 5 catches for 128 yards (team record for tight ends), including a career-long 66-yard touchdown, against the Denver Broncos.
The next year despite missing 4 games with a left meniscus tear, he tallied 42 receptions, finishing second on the team in receiving behind Sterling Sharpe for the second year in a row. His knee injury forced him to miss 2 playoff games.
On June 22, 1994, Harris signed a 4-year, $7.6 million contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a restricted free agent, becoming the NFL's highest-paid tight end by annual average salary. Although the Packers had the option, they eventually decided not to match the offer.
In 1994, he was limited to only 9 games, after suffering a shoulder subluxation against the Chicago Bears and being placed on the injured reserve list on November 22. At the time of his injury, he was second in receptions among NFC tight ends.
