I learned early in my football life that people would doubt me and that I would have to overcome.
That’s really what my football journey has been about.
Right from my days growing up in Los Angeles, where I was considered too small to play college football, to my final season in the CFL, where I was a West Division all-star in Saskatchewan after some people thought I was done following nine years with the BC Lions.

Eamon Mac Mahon The Calgary school has drawn attention from US intellectuals for creating “a new form of nationalism that in turn is changing the terms of debate in English Canada.”
Consternation rumbled across the country like an approaching thunderhead. For aboriginal leaders, one of their worst nightmares appeared about to come true.

Kyle Walters doesn t expect to be a major player in CFL free agency.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers GM s focus this off-season has been re-signing key members of the franchise s 2019 Grey Cup-winning team.
After getting key pieces like running back Andrew Harris, offensive linemen Stanley Bryant, Jermarcus Hardrick and Canadian Geoff Gray and defensive lineman Jackson Jeffcoat under contract before they hit free agency, Walters doesn t have room left in his budget to make a huge splash when free agency opens at noon ET on Tuesday.
WINNIPEG With CFL free agency opening Tuesday, the general manager of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Kyle Walters, is warning fans not to expect a frenzy. “It’s going to be pretty quiet for us tomorrow,” Walters told reporters over a conference call, Monday. “In free agency past, we’d be in my office working the phones with two or three phones on the go trying to find guys, follow along and try to fill holes in your roster and spending and adding and all that sort of stuff.” COVID-19 continues to cast a lot of uncertainty over the league and the possibility of a season this summer. However Walters has been busy restructuring and extending contracts to retain a number of key players over the past few weeks, like quarterback Zach Collaros, linebacker Adam Bighill along with running back and 2019 Grey Cup MVP Andrew Harris, to name a few.
