Richard Joseph Egloff (born November 2, 1944) [1] is an American former 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]
