McDougal, a graduate of the great UCLA football program burst into the CFL with Hamilton with a bang in 1957 as he ran for 1053 yards to lead the East in rushing. McDougal reeled off two more 1000+ yard seasons in 1958 and 1959 when he ran for 1109 and 1010 yards (all in 14 game seasons). McDougal was named an Eastern All-Star for 1957 abd 1958. While McDougal's rushing stats for the next two seasons declined to 557 yards in 1960 and 335 yards in 1961, he was being used more as a pass receiver, with 30 catches in 1960 and 40 in 1961. McDougal was also pressed into service as a backup kicker during those years. McDougal played with Toronto in 1962 and revived his rushing career with 811 yards in 13 games and caught 32 passes for another 300 yards. After 1962, McDougal went south to the newly formed AFL to play three seasons for the San Diego Chargers. In 1965, McDougal returned to the CFL and spent 1965 and 1966 mainly as a backup running back with Hamilton. McDougal finished his CFL career in 1967 with one game for Edmonton. McDougal finished his career with 5082 yards rushing, and his 4271 yards with Hamilton was a club record until it was broken by Troy Davis in 2004.
