Running Back
5th Round (1973)
Tampa
"Drafted in the fifth round of the 1973 draft while playing in the Canadian Football League, McQuay has outstanding credentials as he reports to his first NFL training camp. At Tampa University, he rewrote the rushing record book despite the fact he left Tampa in his junior year to sign with the CFL.
McQuay had 514 attempts for 3,039 yards for a 6.0 average per try and scored 37 touchdowns during his collegiate career. In his first season with Toronto of the CFL, McQuay missed three games because of an injury yet finished with 917 yards rushing in just 138 carries, an average of 7.1 per carry! He also caught 26 passes for another 429 yards and scored nine touchdowns overall, and made the All-CFL team. In 1972, McQuay's totals were 745 yards rushing for a 5.0 average and 32 pass receptions for 418 yards and a total of five touchdowns.
Leon made a distinct impression during this year's Giant rookie one-day camp, clocking 4.4 for the 40 on wet grass.
Born in Tampa, Leon was an all-around star at Blake High School in Tampa and still resides in Tampa."
