Jesse Palmer is a Canadian <a href="/biography/jesse-palmer">sports commentator</a> and a college football analyst. He was born on October 5, 1978 in Toronto, Ontario to Bill Palmer and Susan Palmer. He attended both Confederation and St. Pius X high schools throughout his student years in Ottawa, and received an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida. Jesse was selected as one of the team’s captains as a senior in college and received the Gators’ Fergie Ferguson Award and completed 3755 passing yards in four years of his college career.

Palmer’s claim to fame is as an amateur football player who played as a young man for the Ontario Amateur Football Association and the Myers Riders Football Club. Interestingly enough, Jesse comes from a family of football players. His father, Bill, also played in the CFL with the Ottawa Rough Riders, while his brother, Billy, played college football at Notre Dame.  Jesse’s mother, Susan, was a fashion and print model, and former owner of the original ITM International Top Models. Jesse’s college career began in 1997 when he started playing for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Spurrier">coach</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Spurrier">Steve Spurrier</a>'s Florida Gators football team, where he played until 2000.

Jesse’s NFL debut was in 2001, for the New York Giants. He was a <a href="/biography/jesse-palmer">quarterback</a> in the NFL for four seasons.  According to most experts of the sport, the years 2002 and 2003 were by far his two best seasons. In 2002 specifically he got a passing rate of 95.8 while in 2003, starting in three of the six games in which he played, Palmer completed 60 passes for 532 yards and three touchdowns.  He was then associated with the San Francisco 49ers in 2005 and spent half of the 2006 season with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.

Palmer now works as a college football analyst in the US for ESPN/ABC and as a football analyst in Canada for TSN.  His broadcast career began with Fox Sports Net, with analysis on Arena Football League games. After 2007, when he announced that he would leave football to pursue his broadcasting career, Jesse gained wide recognition and respect as a veteran and somewhat of an expert on the field. He is currently a <a href="/biography/jesse-palmer">studio analyst</a> on College Football Live and ABC telecasts. He is also a <a href="/biography/jesse-palmer">game analyst</a> on ESPN Thursday Night College football games and the co-host on The Palmer and Pollack Show. After 7 consecutive years of hard work, in 2014 he was announced as the lead game analyst alongside legendary <a href="/biography/brent-musburger">sportscaster</a> <a href="/biography/brent-musburger">Brent Musburger</a> for the SEC Network.

One of the major highlights in Jesse’s life is the fifth season of the reality television series “The Bachelor” in 2004. He was cast as the bachelor in the series. He was the first non-American bachelor on the show and was given his choice of single eligible women. In what would be a rather amusing moment, he forgot the name of the woman in the first Rose Ceremony on the show. He eventually selected Jessica Bowlin out of the 25 contestants that season. However, their affair lasted only for a few months after the show’s finale. In fact, here’s a spicy trivia for the most well informed of you: in June 2004, the Canadian <a href="/biography/jesse-palmer">sports commentator</a> and former college and professional football player announced on "Extra" that he and Jessica Bowlin had parted ways.

Palmer said that he did the television reality show because he was really keen on meeting someone who was not interested in dating him for being a football player but was instead interested in him for what and who he is as a person. He said the idea of being with girls who did not know who he was and what he did when they signed on to get on the show, appealed to him enough to do the show. Jesse has admitted that he has had a lot of girlfriends from all walks of life. He has said that the qualities that he looks for in a girl are honesty, sincerity and genuineness, and he was very open-minded about the whole experience of doing the reality show. Of course, he had no on-camera experience before appearing on The Bachelor.

His second and third appearances on television were rather brief. He once guest starred in the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit season 7 episode "Design," portraying professional baseball player Don Lacey. He then hosted the first two seasons of the food competition show Recipe to Riches on Food Network Canada. After the second season, Palmer was replaced by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Rota">Carlo Rota</a>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Rota">son</a> of the internationally renowned <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Rota">chef</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Rota">Dante Rota</a>. Since May 2015, Palmer has been a member of the Good Morning America TV show with the title of "Special Contributor".

Since appearing on “The Bachelor,” Palmer’s personal life has been kept out of the spotlight. He does not talk much about his private life. Regarding relationships and marriage, Jesse has hinted that he is married to his job only. All plans of getting into wedlock are on hold for this handsome man until he ‘divorces’ this current ‘work wife’. He has done a good job at keeping his personal life under wraps as opposed to a lot of celebrities who all-too-generously reveal their break-ups and link-ups.

Today, Palmer’s net worth is estimated to be around four million dollars. He lived in Hoboken, New Jersey until 2005. Since then, he has been living in Orlando, Florida and is currently co-hosting the show “College Football Life” on ESPN.
