Harold Jackson Biography

Harold Jackson is a retired NFL wide receiver and the former head coach at Jackson State University. Jackson was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams out of Jackson State in the 1968 NFL Draft, but was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles after just one season as a Ram. As an Eagle, Jackson emerged as one of the top receivers in the NFL, earning two Pro-Bowl bids and leading the NFL in multiple receiving categories in his three seasons with the team. In 1973, Jackson was traded back to the Rams, and he led the NFL with 13 reception touchdowns while leading the Rams to a 12-2 record and a playoff berth. Four seasons later, Jackson was traded to the New England Patriots, where he would play for four seasons before retiring as a Ram after stops in Seattle and Minnesota. Following his playing career, Jackson became one of the top NFL assistant coaches, eventually moving his way up from wide receiver coach of the New England Patriots in 1989 to becoming the head coach at his alma mater Jackson State for the 2014 season.
