Reginald Joseph Rucker (born September 21, 1947 in Washington, DC) is a former American professional football player. Rucker played in twelve National Football League seasons from 1970-1981, primarily for the Cleveland Browns. He played college football for Boston University.
Rucker has been a part of the Cleveland media since his retirement. He was a color analyst for the Cleveland Indians baseball team from 1982-1984. (It was believed that since Rucker was a popular player with the Browns, his presence would increase the ratings for Indians broadcasts on WUAB Channel 43.)
Rucker then hosted a nightly sports talk show on the then new WKNR AM 1220 (since moved to 850) in the early 1990s.
After a hiatus, Rucker returned to the Cleveland airwaves as a football analyst for WEWS Channel 5 covering both the Browns and the Buckeyes since 2004.
