HAMILTON — Stavros Katsantonis has certainly made the most of his opportunity this season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The five-foot-10, 188-pound safety began the year backing up compatriot Tunde Adeleke but became the starter July 18 when Adeleke was injured. Katsantonis has become a fixture in Hamilton's secondary ever since.
Katsantonis has appeared in all of Hamilton's 17 regular-season games this year. He has 54 tackles, two special-teams tackles, five interceptions and two sacks. "For me, a lot of it was understanding my time was coming … it was knowing good things were going to come and just trusting my work ethic, my play on the field.""It's definitely a learned trait," he said with a chuckle."As a kid I wanted things to happen now and it's definitely something I've grown into.
"Canada has held a special place in my heart since I came up here in 2015 . I'm just going out to prove Canadians can play and hang with the best."
