Ricky Ray (born October 22, 1979) is a professional Canadian football quarterback for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. Ray has also spent time in the af2, as well as spending time on the New York Jets roster in the National Football League. He is most well known for his performance with the Edmonton Eskimos, as he is the franchise's all-time leader in passing yardage, pass completions and passing touchdowns.
In 1997, an 18-year-old Ray made his debut for Shasta College, a two-year community college in Redding, California. Ray became a first-team All-American and state player of the year in 1998.
Ray moved on to play NCAA college football with Sacramento State University. In his first year as a college starter in 1999, Ray completed 179 of 291 passes for 2,422 yards and 20 touchdowns. He suffered a slight dropoff in 2000, completing 168 of 270 passes (62.2%) for 13 touchdowns with six interceptions.
Ray holds the Sacramento State record for completion percentage (.619) and is third in completions and yards. Ray also rewrote the Shasta College record books during his time there, most notably throwing 199 consecutive pass attempts without allowing an interception.
After his college career ended in 2000, Ray attended a training camp for the NFL's San Francisco 49ers, but did not make the team and only dressed for a single pre-season game. Ray made his professional debut with the Fresno Frenzy of the Arena Football League's developmental league af2.
