Roy Dale McKay (February 2, 1920 – May 29, 1969) was an American professional football player for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Texas Longhorns. He was an All-American fullback in 1942 and was the most outstanding back in the 1943 Cotton Bowl.
In the NFL he was a member of the 1944 NFL Championship Green Bay Packers. He led the NFL in punting average in 1945 and 1946, and once passed to legendary Green Bay end Don Hutson for four touchdowns in a single quarter in a 1945 game against the Detroit Lions.
After a four year stint with the Packers, McKay was traded to the Washington Redskins during the summer of 1948, but was ultimately released by the team without having played a regular season game.
