.He uses the name 88fingerslewy. No foolin'. I got drafted 8th overall in '87. That same year the Alouettes went bankrupt before the season started. They had a dispersal draft, too many players not enough roster spots with the other teams. They only dressed 34 guys in the CFL back then. Bad luck, what are ya gonna do? I played center, our quarterback was Walter Lewis, one of the last QB's to play under Bear Bryant.
There was a quota of 15 Americans, 19 Canadians per roster. Even the Americans were fighting a numbers game as the USFL had just folded and there was surplus from both countries who couldn't find work. Oh well.
If you go to cfl.ca and go to events. Click on draft. Then click on full results near the bottom of the draft page. There's a drop down list to select the year. 1987. 8th overall. There I am. A real heartbreak at the time but I have no regrets. BTW, our DB coach was none other than Kevin Gilbride. Awesome guy. Treated the rookies well. There's some trivia for ya Gipper. LOL
