James Reginald Colvin (born November 30, 1937) is a former American football defensive tackle in the National Football League for the Baltimore Colts, Dallas Cowboys, and the New York Giants. He played college football at the University of Houston.
Colvin attended Lutcher-Stark High School before moving on to the University of Houston, where he was a two-way player and received All-MVC honors in 1959.
He was selected in the eighth round (95th overall) of the 1960 NFL Draft. By his third season, he was named the starter at left defensive tackle, replacing a recently retired Art Donovan.
On July 11, 1964, he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for Guy Reese.
Colvin took over Reese's left defensive tackle starting job, playing alongside Bob Lilly for three years. At the end of the 1966 season, Jethro Pugh was moved from defensive end to left defensive tackle, replacing him in the starting lineup.
After notifying the club of his intentions to retire, he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings, before receiving him back and trading him again on October 11, 1967, to the New York Giants in exchange for a fourth round draft choice (#97-John Douglas).
