Jimmie Giles, Jr. (born November 8, 1954 in Natchez, Mississippi), was a former professional American football player who was selected by the Houston Oilers in the 3rd round of the 1977 NFL Draft. A 6'3", 238 lbs. tight end from Alcorn State University, Giles played in 13 NFL seasons from 1977-1989. A four-time Pro Bowl selection, Giles's career flourished as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the early and mid 1980s. In 1988 with the Philadelphia Eagles, he caught a touchdown on one of the most memorable plays in Monday Night Football. Quarterback Randall Cunningham escaped a tackle from Giants defensive end Carl Banks and threw a touchdown to Giles.
