Richard Joseph Egloff (born November 2, 1944)[1] is a former American gridiron football player who played professionally in the Canadian Football League (CFL).
A graduate of Mullen High School in Denver,[2] Egloff played college football at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, where he starred as a quarterback from 1964 to 1966. In his senior season in 1966, he led the Cowboys to a conference title and a 28–20 victory over Florida State in the Sun Bowl; he ran and passed for a touchdown that game,[3] and Wyoming finished with a 10–1 record.[4][5][6]
In the 1967 NFL/AFL Draft, Egloff was selected by the Oakland Raiders of the American Football League in the sixth round (155th overall), then traded to the Denver Broncos in April 1968,[7] but did not play with either team. In 1968, he played four games with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.[8]
He now resides in the foothills of Colorado where he runs an Italian restaurant.[9]
