One Lion hoping to breakthrough this year is Canadian Stephen Adekolu as he saw little action as a receiver in his first two years, although he became a regular on special teams in his second year.

Adekolu’s journey hasn’t come without having to stay patient. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound receiver dressed for just six games in his rookie season, recording one catch while also spending time on the practice roster. His sophomore season provided more promise as Adekolu appeared in every game and became a reliable member of the Lions special teams unit.“Playing special teams gives you the speed and allows you to gauge the strength of the game. People think special teams is not a glorious position, but I find it to be one of the most important aspects of the game,” Adekolu says.
With the off-season departures of Andrew Harris and Austin Collie, there appears to be room for at least one new Canadian starter on offence. Adekolu hopes an off-season of intense training will go a long way in securing a spot on the receiving corps when camp breaks June 16.
