Demerio Houston hopes quarterback Jake Maier isn't holding a grudge when the Calgary Stampeders open training camp next month.
"It was my first as a professional so it will always be with me," Houston said."Hopefully they forgive me now that we're on the same team." He was with Winnipeg for its last three championship appearances, including a 33-25 overtime victory over Hamilton at Tim Hortons Field in 2021. The following year, the Bombers dropped a heartbreaking 24-23 decision to Toronto in Regina.
"It starts with running to the ball," he said."Many of my plays come with the ball in the air but I also had three fumble recoveries last year, which is running to the football and when you do that, good things happen. "I feel like people will be asking if I can do it again and I feel like I can," Houston said."There's definitely going to be pressure going to a new team and having to learn everybody and a new system.
"Teams are always looking for dominant, playmaking cornerbacks and Demerio, coming off a '23 all-star season, had many options to explore," said Kenny Kim of Summit Athletes, Houston's Florida-based agent."We all understand the business of professional football and Demerio went to a team that values him as a person and all-star calibre defender."
