Roy Dewalt (born September 4, 1956)[1] is a former Canadian Football League (CFL) quarterback who, in a career lasting nine years, played for the BC Lions between 1980 and 1987, and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Ottawa Rough Riders in 1988.
The next season Dewalt helped to lead the team to first place in the CFL Western Division,[3] with an 11-5-0 record, and to its first Grey Cup appearance since 1964.
[4] Although in 1985 Dewalt completed 301 out of 476 pass attempts for 4,237 yards and 27 touchdowns to 12 interceptions,[5] his best season, he was not chosen as the division's all-star quarterback.
For the next two seasons Dewalt was not as effective of a quarterback, in part due to an injury to Fernandez in 1985 and the receiver's departure for the Los Angeles Raiders in 1986.
An arm injury led Dewalt to a number of poor performances and he was sent packing to the Ottawa Rough Riders where, overall, his play did not improve.
