Video of a Stampeder Draft Pick...

[calf]

The CFL draft was today...in the latter rounds, the Stamps took Henry Bekkering. The guy played some high school football, and went to Eastern Washington & was recruited as a kicker...however, the University wanted him to be a receiver. He played football for the first two years of Uni, then switched to basketball...this is what he can do:

(he was drafted to be a Slotback/Tight End...and will use up the remaining 2 years of Basketball eligibility).

does the kid have any interest in playing football? it was a good video but if he can play basketball like that, is he a better football player?

That last Jodon-esque dunk was unreal.

I'm a friend of the guy, met him through some friends a few years ago. He's been on Best Damn a few times and his dunk was on the top 50 dunks of all time. Came back from a EW to play U of C ball with his brother. He's pretty quiet and laid back for a kid with such athletic skill
