1951 NFL Season (Jayverse)

The 1951 NFL season was the 32nd regular season of the National Football League. Prior to the season, Baltimore Colts owner Abraham Watner faced financial difficulties, and thus gave his team and its player contracts back to the league for $50,000. However, many Baltimore fans started to protest the loss of their team. Supporting groups such as its fan club and its marching band remained in operation and worked for the team's revival (which eventually led to a new Baltimore team in 1953).

In addition to the Baltimore Colts, The New York Yanks have folded as well however the National Football League had a surprise move to put a team in Canada to expand the game up North as the Toronto Huskies joined the NFL for the 1951 Season in which they acquired a team of Unexperienced Players and acquired Al Dekdebrun (QB), Ulysses Curtis (RB), Bill Bass (FB), Ed Hirsch (C) and Nick Volpe (K) from the CFL's Argonauts
