The bio of the Canadian-born football star Arnie Weinmeister and his brilliant CFL and NFL career. He played in the NFL for the New York Yankees, and New York Giants and in the CFL with the BC Lions.


Arnie Weinmeister was a trailblazer. Though his career spanned a mere six years (1948-1953), his impact transcended statistics, leaving a mark on both Canadian and American football.

Born in Canada, Weinmeister began his career with the Regina Roughriders before turning heads with his athleticism and leadership. Drafted by the New York Yankees in the AAFC, he quickly transitioned to defense, showcasing his power and finesse as a tackle. His performance earned him All-AAFC honors in his rookie year, setting the stage for a dominant run.

Joining the New York Giants in 1950, Weinmeister became a defensive cornerstone. His aggressive style and relentless pursuit of quarterbacks earned him the nickname "The Howitzer." He garnered All-NFL selections four consecutive years and participated in the first four Pro Bowls, a new tradition at the time.


Beyond individual accolades, Weinmeister was a team player. He served as co-captain in his final season, leading the Giants to several championship appearances. His influence extended beyond the field, inspiring younger players like Sam Huff and Willie Mays with his work ethic and dedication.

Though his career was cut short by injuries, Weinmeister's legacy lived on. He was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1963 and, more impressively, the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1984, one of the shortest careers to receive such an honor.
