James "Shack" Harris - The Executive
The Ravens has had success hiring black college graduates in its front office. HBCU legend James "Shack" Harris was the first black to begin an NFL season as a starter at quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams. The trailblazer also was the first to win a division title, playoff game, NFL Pro Bowl game, and Pro Bowl MVP vote as a black signal-caller.
The Grambling product and Eddie Robinson disciple was the Ravens' Director of Pro Personnel during the season Baltimore won Super Bowl XXXV. He also served as Vice President of Player Personnel for Jacksonville Jaguars and Senior Personnel Executive with the Detroit Lions.
Brown will have a great opportunity to enter a winning franchise that has a Super Bowl winning coach and NFL MVP at quarterback. Also, Baltimore has some of the most loyal and passionate fans in the NFL.
