He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the 1991 NFL Draft, in order to find a receiving partner for Michael Irvin. During his rookie year, he caught 20 passes for 326 yards and one touchdown, helping Dallas finish 11-5, its first winning season since 1985.
In 1992, he rushed once for 15 yards and caught 35 passes for 562 yards and four touchdowns. He probably had the signature play of his career during the NFC Championship against the San Francisco 49ers, catching a slant route for 70 yards, setting up the Cowboys on the 10-yard line and sealing the win. He also caught a 45-yard touchdown from quarterback Troy Aikman during the 52-17 victory over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVII, after which he dunked the ball over the goal post crossbar.
In 1993, Harper established himself as one of the best deep threats in the NFL with a 21.6 yards per catch average, and a total of 36 receptions for 777 yards and five touchdowns. He again had a key play in the NFC Championship against the San Francisco 49ers: with Troy Aikman knocked out of the game with a concussion, Dallas backup quarterback Bernie Kosar connected with Harper for a 42 yard touchdown. That year, Dallas returned to face the Bills in Super Bowl XXVIII during which Aikman completed a 16-yard pass to him to give the Cowboys a first-and-goal at the six early in the fourth quarter. That set up a one-yard-run by running back Emmitt Smith and helped seal the Bills fate as Dallas won 30-13.
Harper's best year came in 1994, when he led the league with a 24.9 yards-per-reception average, catching 33 passes for 821 yards and eight touchdowns. However, Dallas failed to take a third consecutive win, dropping out of Super Bowl contention with a 38-28 loss to the Super Bowl champions, the San Francisco 49ers.
