CAREER SNAPSHOT:
- Louie Aguiar played college ball at Utah State and went undrafted in 1989.
- Aguiar tried out for the Bills in subsequent seasons, but eventually was cut.
- He’d make a positive impression on the Bills coaching staff, so they recommended Louie to Jack Bicknell, head coach of the Barcelona Dragons in the World League.
- Louie played the ’91 season in Barcelona, making an impression on the New York Jets.
- He signed with NY shortly after World Bowl I concluded.
- Played for the Jets from 1991-’93, averaging 39.6 yards on 210 punts in 49 contests.
- Louie joined the Chiefs in 1994- where he’d play through the ’98 season.
- He’d conclude his career after one year stints for the Packers (’99) and Bears (’00).
ACCOLADES:
- All Pro 1995
NOTES:
Louie was well known for a booming leg and was frequently used on kickoffs.
A sneaky success story of the World League, Aguiar went on to play in the NFL for 10 seasons. I was surprised he didn’t have a card in the league, but that’s why this helmet card was perfect for him to sign.
