Chuck Ealey led the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to the ‘72 Grey Cup as a rookie, becoming the first Black quarterback to win a championship in Canada
Long before there was Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Doug Williams or even Warren Moon, there was Chuck Ealey.
“For the bottom line, two very good guys who happen to be Black are playing in the Super Bowl. That’s what I see.” Such was the case again in 1982 when Moon guided Edmonton to a 32-16 Grey Cup win over Condredge Holloway and the Toronto Argonauts. “I think the poignant thing there is it’s not a big deal for us in Canada … it’s not a big news story after the first time it happened.”
Ealey said he attended Toledo to get an education and not as a means to get to the NFL. And if he wasn’t going to be allowed to play quarterback, he was prepared to head into the business world upon graduation.
