Roughrider’s Hall of Fame Neil Habig (born September 6, 1936) is a former offensive lineman and linebacker for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Canadian Football League (CFL) from 1958 to 1964 and was a dominant player at his position of center.
[1][2] As a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Neil Habig played center and linebacker.
As a linebacker, he was particularly adept at covering the pass, as indicated by his 10 career interceptions, including 6 in a single year (1963).
Despite this prowess, his team reached the Western finals only once, in 1963, and lost to the BC Lions, so that he never played in a Grey cup game.
