Harrington Darnell Autry (born June 19, 1976 in Tempe, Arizona) is a former American football player who played college football at Northwestern University. In his sophomore season, he helped lead the Northwestern Wildcats to the Big Ten Championship and the 1996 Rose Bowl. Autry finished fourth for that year's Heisman Trophy. In his junior season, he led Northwestern to another share of the Big Ten championship. After the season, Autry sued the NCAA to be allowed to star in a movie since he was a theater major and he did not want to lose NCAA eligibilty. The NCAA initially rejected his claims but eventually relented.[1] He was then drafted in the 1997 NFL Draft where he had little success playing for the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles[2]
