Defensive lineman that dominated every game. ABC Sports Defensive Lineman of the Year in 1971...no doubt the greatest defensive lineman of the pre-modern era. The middle cog in the defense that lead the nation in fewest yards allowed in 1971. A true warrior.

quote:

After graduating from Louisiana State University (LSU) in 1972, he was selected by the Denver Broncos in the 8th round of the 1972 NFL Draft. He moved to Canada and played for the British Columbia Lions in 1972 and Edmonton from 1973–82, and helped lead the team to five straight Grey Cup championships from 1978–82 as a key member of the "Alberta Crude" defense. He played in 1983 for the Washington Federals of the United States Football League (USFL). Estay was a two time CFL All-Star in 1977 and 1980 and Western All-Star four times in 1973, 1977, 1978 and 1980. He played in nine Grey Cup championships, winning six times. One of Estay's biggest games was the 1977 Grey Cup also known as the 'Staples Game


From Raceland, LA. One of Coach O's boys!

I ran into Mr. Ronnie a while back at Office Depot in Thibodaux. He was printing off this very cool picture of him an Tommy Casanova holding a prior Mike the tiger when he was a little cub. He made me one and autographed it for me. Can’t remember where I put it. Lol.

Diessel88....the object is for others to build on the story of the player, as they often do. I am simply planting a starter-seed.

Probably the only d-lineman in history to also be the punter.
