The tale of Kwame Harris is a difficult one. He's another NFL player who chose to come out long after his career was over, and his sexuality hasn't always been in the spotlight for the right reasons. Harris played for the San Francisco 49ers between 2003 and 2007 before going on to play for the Oakland Raiders, and retiring in 2010. Although family and friends knew he was gay after his mother challenged him on the issue at a young age, he kept his orientation secret for the entirety of his playing career.
The world may never have found out he was gay at all were it not for his arrest on a domestic battery charge in 2013, when he assaulted his partner Dimitri Geier at a restaurant. Harris denied the charges but was convicted, serving five days in jail and being placed on probation for three years. Harris did an interview with CNN that year to confirm he was gay but has also said he doesn't intend to make any further comment about his private life.
