Dan Loney

Education

Loney attended Atascadero High School in Atascadero, California, where he excelled at football. He continued to play football at Cal Polytechnic

Career

Upon graduating, he was not selected in the 2000 NFL Draft. As such, he signed with the San Jose SaberCats in early 2001. Loney spent one year on the SaberCats" practice squad.

In 2002, he was promoted to the team"s active roster.

From 2002 to 2008, he was used primarily as an offensive lineman (though he did see limited action as a defensive lineman). Following the SaberCats" loss to the Philadelphia Soul in ArenaBowl XXII, the league suspended operations.

This ended Loney"s first stint with the SaberCats. After one year, the Arena Football League resumed operations in 2010.

The SaberCats, however, did not rejoin the league.

As such, Loney spent the season with the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz. In 2011, the SaberCats finally rejoined the league. Loney rejoined the team for what was to be his final American Federation of Labor-Congress season.

He retired following the SaberCats" campaign.

Achievements

• During his time with the SaberCats, Loney appeared in four ArenaBowls (XVI, XVIII, XXI, and XXII). The SaberCats won the first three contests, giving Loney three American Federation of Labor-Congress championships in six years.
