Tommie Harris Jr., raised in Killeen, Texas by way of Germany, is an American football defensive tackle that last played for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football league (NFL) before becoming a free agent. Tommie has an extensive football career, having achieved many awards and esteemed honors dating back to high school and now spends his off field time giving back to the community and raising his two beautiful children.
The Chicago Bears selected Harris in the first round, 14th overall pick, of the 2004 NFL Draft, and he played for the Bears from 2004 to 2010. In 2004, he finished second in balloting for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. In only his second NFL season, Harris was selected for the 2006 Pro Bowl for the first time.
In 2012, Harris’ life was forever changed after the sudden death of his wife Ashley, which led him off the field to embrace the role of being a single father to his two children Tyson and Tinsley. Taking a break from the football field has allowed him to focus on his children who are a constant source of love and joy.
