Career

Ealey began playing football at Notre Dame High School , where he never lost a game. He then attended 1969-1971 the University of Toledo , where he worked for the football team college football played. He won all 35 games with them and thus three times their conference . He also took the Rockets to the Tangerine Bowl three times , which they always won, and Ealey was voted MVP each time. In 1971 he became the first player in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) to get votes in the election for the winner of the Heisman Trophy , where he got 168 points, eighth in the vote. He received many other awards during his time at college, but was never in a time by the National Collegiate Athletic Association recognized First Team All-America choice, a fact that his access to the College Football Hall of Fame denied. In 1988 Ealey was inducted into the MAC Hall of Fame for his achievements . An anniversary team was elected for the 100th anniversary of the Rockets. Ealey ended up in first place.

After he was not selected in the 1972 NFL Draft , the Hamilton Tiger-Cats signed him from the Canadian Football League . After he was starting quarterback after the fourth day of his first season , he led them into the Gray Cup , which they also won. Ealey was named the Gray Cup Most Valuable Player and was also voted the most outstanding rookie of the CFL in the same year . In 1974 he switched to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers , but where he disappointed and was replaced by Dieter Brock in 1975 . In 1975 he therefore moved to the Toronto Argonauts . In 1978 he retired from professional sport after a lung collapse. He had previously received an offer from Hamilton, which he refused.
