C Mart Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Cottoy played for the Calgary Colts of the Canadian Junior Football League in 2014 and 2015 where he was named the 2014 Prairie Football Conference's Rookie of the Year. He was offered a scholarship to play for the Calgary Dinos football team for the 2016 season, but he tore his ACL and MCL just before the season and was unable to play. Cottoy didn't play football for two years and was training in Calgary to become a firefighter. After discussions with friends and family, he reunited with his former coach, Matt Blokker, to play for the Langley Rams in 2018. He played in eight games in the 2018 regular season and finished with 39 catches for 657 yards and eight touchdowns. In the playoffs that year, the Rams played in four games, including the championship game, where Cottoy had 25 receptions for 645 yards and eight touchdowns. Professional career After a dominant junior career, Cottoy signed with the BC Lions on December 12, 2018 as a territorial protected junior player. Following a strong training camp, he made the team's active roster and played in his first game on June 15, 2019 against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers where he recorded one reception for six yards. He scored his first touchdown on a three-yard reception from Mike Reilly on July 20, 2019, against the Saskatchewan Roughriders. After the CFL canceled the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cottoy chose to opt-out of his contract with the Lions on August 31, 2020. He had attended a workout with the San Francisco 49ers, but eventually re-signed with the Lions on June 21, 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungaman Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I did like in the film clip that he uses his hands to extend towards and secure the ball BEFORE it hits his body. So many guys just wait for the ball, and it gives DB's a chance to defend the pass, or it increases the chance it will bounce off their torso. Basic stuff often ignored.

If he did that we’d have a chance to make the playoffs in 2025. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid has really hurt the CFL as well as it is very much a gate driven league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it came up in another thread - and think someone started one in the past year - but absent finding that, here's as good a place as any to ask: how are you a Jets fan? Some can at least blame their fathers, which is a very American thing to do anyway, or because father was a Giants fan so picking the Jets instead just to not listen to daddy (no less American, lol).

What's your excuse? Ricky Ray, yes....Ricky Ray Ray came for the Edmonton Eskimos to the Jets. The Eskimos (name since changed to Elks) are my hometown CFL team. I decided to look in on a Jets forum to follow his progress. (Jets Insider I believe) and was impressed by the loyalty and snark of many of the jets fans. And I remained. (The Jets still totally blew it with Ray, he never got a real shot and was vastly better than most of the QBs we have trotted out over the years.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
