Jim Finn

James Finn, Jr. (born December 9, 1976) is a former American football fullback. He was originally drafted by the Chicago Bears in the seventh round of the 1999 NFL Draft. He played college football at the University of Pennsylvania.

High school career

An All-State pick in both sports, he was the 189-pound class state champion and posted a 33-2 record as a senior. Because no Division I-A recruiters were seeking him, Finn sought a Division I-AA program and committed with the University of Pennsylvania.
