- James Harris played Quarterback for the Bills, Rams, and Chargers between 1969 and 1979
During his NFL career, Harris threw for 8,136 yards and tossed 45 touchdowns
Fun Fact: James Harris was the first permanent black QB in NFL history. He faced much hatred, but paved the way for guys like Doug Williams, who himself helped clear the path for QBs like Russell Wilson and Lamar Jackson - กีฬา
James Harris will forever be A Part of Los Angeles Rams History! So glad that he stepped up for the Rams in 1974 after John Hadl was traded to Green Bay.
Legend. first black QB to make the pro bowl. Love the channel btw.
james harris was the mvp of the 1975 pro bwol!!!!!! the nfc were 20 point underdogs and james harris led a dramatic 4th quarter comeback for the nfc where he threw 2 touchdown passes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When he dropped back to pass it was poetry in motion , I grew up watching him , I’ll always remember James Harris
How tall was this man?
His mobility is underrated.
That was by design he was afraid of being asked to switch positions.
Just met my man this weekend in NO...class personified!
Big Ram fan during this period. Always wanted to see James take the Rams to the Super Bowl and win. Unfortunately the Vikings & Cowboys were the Rams achilles heal..😣
wow..omg....never knew this..An Amazing Talented Black Quarterback...DAMN!!! Timeless Talents
"Ever since the Rama got rid of James Harris my Jaws been tight"😂😂😂
Love this channel
James Harris, Grambling State, the original "Shaq"!
Harris was a decent qb for a couple of teams. He was 11-2 one year for the Rams. No clips of him with the Chargers?
I had the pleasure of meeting him and his collage coach the late great Eddie Robertson listening to his story about how he recruited James Harris when he went to his home talked to his mom he said she made him promise her that he would make sure he went to church every Sunday
And that's the only way that James Harris Mom would let him go.....
I forgot to mention that James Harris was one of the Best !!!
i recall so many great Ron Jesse catches...one...they put one in?
And now James witness his beloved team won super bowl lvi and gave them the Halas trophy as well
I have a throwback jersey of Harris from Buffalo
Buffalo treated him like crap when he arrived to the team he was forced to sleep at the YMCA instead of a hotel like the other players.
That was the impact of racism during the 70's coming from the 60's chaos environment.
Today's Moorish ( Black ) Quarterbacks should be thankful for this Great Man.
He paved the way as a pioneering trailblazer.
@@washitawmoor8657 Yes he was a pioneer no doubt also don't forget Joe Gilliam he had to deal with the obvious subject of racism during the '70s playing with The Steelers.
@@dwightlove3704 Your'e right.
@@washitawmoor8657 Gilliam had to deal with death threats and hate mail from White people in Pittsburgh and that led to his use of drugs and hate mail. It ultimately was the cause of his death in '00.When healthy and drug free Gilliam at 6-2 190 had a release that was just as quick as Joe Namath or Dan Marino.
Wow didn’t know that.I’m not surprised though.Those devils are full of hate.

@@BackupQuarterbackHighlights thank you...
@@BackupQuarterbackHighlights Yes thank you I heard this numerous times last time Don Hutson was named as top 100 all time greats no.9 overall!!!!!
@@BackupQuarterbackHighlights I sent this link to Twitter for all to see
@@BackupQuarterbackHighlights I have developed a certain fascination with WHITE WRs who have reputations as speed demons and of course Don Hutson got the ball rolling in the '30s.
These dudes were aiming for the head.

He would be in the HOF if it hadn't been for the institutional racism in the NFL. He had all the tools.
