Danny Kepley, born August 24, 1953, in Albermarle, North Carolina, was a star linebacker with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League.

Kepley played his college football at East Carolina University. He tried out with the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, but ended up coming to Canada, where he had a 10 year career with the Eskimos (1975 to 1984.)

He was an intense player and hard tackler. Teamed with fellow linebackers Dale Potter and Tom Towns for 8 seasons, this trio formed the backbone of a defence that would play in 7 Grey Cup games, winning six championships. Kepley would win 3 CFL's Most Outstanding Defensive Player Awards and be an all star 5 times.

Kepley had some difficulty adjusting after his playing career, but is now a coach with the Eskimos. He was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1996.
