I doubt anyone even knew this.

Ferrigno said he played two games for the Argos before he was cut - an achievement in itself since he had never played the game.
"I had a great time but I didn't like the hitting. I came there to scrimmage and just play for the experience. I made a lot of good friends and had a good time."

I have no record of him playing in the CFL, and our player participation numbers came directly from the league.

Interesting that he's the only guy in that photo without pads or a uniform on.

So the photo is from June 3, 1976. Here's the caption:
The 1976 CFL regular season opened July 20, so it is looking very much like this was a preseason stint.Lou Ferrigno (left); former Mr. Universe; watches would-be Argonaut teammates in scrimmage at CNE Stadium yesterday. Not wearing equipment because of injury; Ferrigno; who's never played football before; is looking on intently and undoubtedly is picking up some valuable tips. Total of 138 rookies have been working out daily. Holdoy from last year's team report tomorrow.
