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 220th overall by the Green Bay Packers in the 19th 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.
