But great story. RIP Mr. Jackson.

Etcheverry was with the Cardinals in 61 (his first of 2 NFL seasons) and was their starter in game one of the 61 NFL season.

Would have been real interesting if that 61 exhibition game had featured Etcheverry as the main starter for the Cardinals vs. Tobin Rote as the main Argos starter.
