Red O'Quinn

John William "Red" O'Quinn (September 7, 1925 – April 21, 2002) was a gridiron football end.

John William "Red" O'Quinn, Jr. was born in Bluett Falls, North Carolina.

He teamed up with CFL great Sam Etcheverry to form one of the best pass and catch tandems in league history.

He caught 499 passes for 7,699 yards and 34 touchdowns in his career (all team records until Ben Cahoon broke them) and was a five-time all-star.

After his playing days and a short stint in industry, Red returned to football as general manager for the Ottawa Rough Riders from 1962 to 1969, winning a pair of Grey Cups in 1968 and 1969.
