“When Harris was recruited by Michigan State, he was told he should probably play tight end… or perhaps defensive back… or perhaps wide receiver. Anything but quarterback. He said no thanks and played quarterback for the legendary Eddie Robinson. Playing for the Bills (1969-71), Rams (1973-76) and Chargers (1977-79), he often was the only black quarterback in the league. Marlin Briscoe, the first black quarterback to play in the modern NFL, and Eldridge Dickey were changed to other positions.”
