STAR PLAYERS SNAPPED UP IN THE 2007 CFL DRAFT
Congratulations
to former Cheetah quarterback Jabari Arthur who was
selected sixth overall in the first round of the CFL Draft
by the Calgary Stampeders. Arthur, who went on to become a
top-notch wide receiver for the University of Akron, was joined
by his former teammate Kevin Challenger who also was
a star wide receiver at Boston College. Jabari and Kevin join
an ever-growing list of former Cheetahs who have gone on to
professional careers. You can read
the article from the West Island Chronicle of May 3, 2007.
