Played in the Canadian Football League for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats...possible source though it is an interview [2] Theroadislong (talk) 17:43, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

I saw that, but it doesn't list the year(s). Really hoping for something more specific. That interview is currently sourced in the article now, so if I can't find anything else that will have to do. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:59, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
