Jackie Bernard Harris (born January 4, 1968 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas) is a former American football tight end in the National Football League. Harris played for four teams in his twelve-year NFL career which lasted from 1990-2001. Harris was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 1990 NFL Draft out of the University of Louisiana-Monroe.
After completing two years of a four-year contract to play for the Dallas Cowboys, Harris was released by the team in late February 2002 to "create salary cap room".[1] This effectively ended his NFL career.[1]
Outside football
In October 1996, Harris purchased KPBA (1270 AM), a Christian radio station operated by a local Baptist church.[2][3][4] By 1999, he would expand his media holdings to three radio stations, all playing a Christian radio format.[4][5]
In June 2001, Jackie Harris and his wife Letrece were honored for their "commitment to downtown Pine Bluff" as Small Business Persons of the Year by the Greater Pine Bluff Chamber of Commerce.[6]
