Born on October 5, 1978, Jesse James Palmer is a former professional football player, sports commentator, and television personality. Jesse’s father, Bill Palmer, was a professional football player who represented the Ottawa Rough Riders, while his mother Susan is the cofounder of Barrett Palmer Models. The now well-known television personality grew up in Nepean, Ontario, where he studied at Confederation and St. Pius X high schools. He showed a keen interest in football from a young age, and thanks to his brilliant on-field performances, Jesse got a sports scholarship to attend the University of Florida.
He played for the Florida Gators football team, and soon after graduation, was signed by the New York Giants.
