Ernie Danjean (March 5, 1934 – June 19, 1995) was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) and all-star in the Canadian Football League (CFL).
After playing college football Auburn University, Danjean was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the nineteenth round of the 1957 NFL Draft and played that season with the team.[1][2]
He moved to the CFL in 1959, playing for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and being selected an All-Star on the strength of his 3 interceptions. He was traded to the Calgary Stampeders during the 1960 season when he played in only 3 games. But from 1961 to 1963, he played in 41 of 45 regular season games. In 1962, he had another interception and recovered 4 fumbles for a 9-6 team which lost the Western conference final.[3]
