Edward Francis Healey, Jr.(born December 28, 1894, in Indian Orchard, Massachusetts; died December 9, 1978, at age of 83)was a professional football player for the Rock Island Independents, and best known with the Chicago Bears.

Healey attended college at Dartmouth College, and heard of the news of a new football league being formed in 1920. He took an overnight train to Rock Island, Illinois, to try out with the Independents. He faced the Chicago Tigers in his first game and played well enough that the management asked to join the team on a permanent basis.

In 1922, while playing against George Halas, the player-coach of the Chicago Bears, Healey dominated his opponent so thoroughly Halas decided he had to have this player on his team. After the game, he bought Healey for $100.

He was an all-league pick five times during his eight-year NFL career, as a tackle.
