The BC Lions selected Australian punter Jake Ford first overall in the Canadian Football League Global Draft.
“I’m really excited to get back to the west coast,” Ford said after being selected first overall.
“I visited Vancouver in 2016 and just fell in love with it. Talking with coach Campbell and coach Yanowsky and hearing what they have planned for me has me even more thrilled for the opportunity to wear Lions orange.”
