Ulysses "Crazy Legs" Curtis (May 10, 1926 – October 6, 2013) was a running back in the CFL for the Toronto Argonauts from 1950-1954. He won two Grey Cups with Toronto in 1950 and 1952.

Curtis was the Argonauts' first black player.[1]

Curtis is sixth on the Argonauts all-time career touchdown list with 47 touchdowns, fourth on the Argos all-time rushing list with 3,712 yards on 529 carries, second on the Argos all-time list with most yards in a game with 208 yards, and third on the team list of most 100-yard rushing games with 12.[2]

After retirement from football, Curtis remained in Toronto and raised his family. He owned a cleaning business and later became a teacher and coach in the North York Board of Education. In 1959 he coached the North York Knights, a team that played in the national Canadian Junior Football championships. He also helped coach the York University football team in the 1960s.[3]

He was named to the Toronto Argonauts All-Time Argos List in 2005.[4]

Curtis died October 6, 2013 in Toronto.[1]
