RFC Throwback Thursday: Chuck Ealey (Toledo)


 (Video courtesy of Old School Sundays.)


This week's post of "RFC Throwback Thursday" takes a look back at the playing career of former University of Toledo and Canadian Football League quarterback Chuck Ealey. Despite going undefeated at 35-0 as a starter with the Rockets from 1969 to 1971, Ealey was overlooked by NFL scouts and signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 1972. He spent seven seasons in the CFL with the Tiger-Cats, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and the Toronto Argonauts, helping Hamilton win the Grey Cup in his rookie season.
