Winnipeg Blue Bomber Thread

[jerrym]

Matt Coates has taken a unusual path to the CFL.

Consider his football timeline; going from the Markham High School Marauders, to giving up tackle football to pursue a career as an electrician, to the Toronto Toros flag football team, to the Hamilton Hurricanes of the Canadian Junior Football League, to the New Mexico Military Institute Broncos, back to the Hurricanes, then to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
And now to the Bombers.
Yes, there is the road less travelled. And then there is the road Coates hacked and chopped through the forest himself to get where he is today.
“I know,” began Coates this week with a chuckle, “it’s a different route, isn’t it?”

You could say that.
