He did play some games with the Elks in 2023, so he does have recent CFL experience.
The Calgary Stampeders have signed American defensive back Marloshawn Franklin Jr. to their training camp roster.
The 28-year-old spent the latter half of last season in the European League of Football after being cut by the Edmonton Elks prior to the season. In seven regular-season games and three playoff contests with the Rhein Fire, he amassed 38 total tackles, two forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, four pass breakups, and three interceptions. He contributed six tackles in the Dusseldorf squad’s ELF championship victory over the Vienna Vikings.
