Recognize the challenge and do something about it.
|
||||||
| One of many examples in
the CFL of a player willing to do whatever it takes to make a club, Dan
took advantage of an invite to training camp in 2007 as an extra
long-snapper after going undrafted that year. Bringing a positive attitude and a strong work ethic, Dan was asked to remain with the club on the practice roster in 2007 until he returned to school at Bishop's University that fall for his final year of eligibility. Dan signed a contract with the Lions prior to camp in 2008 and secured his current spot as the team's long-snapper. |
||||||
|
2009: Dan
continued to be a significant component of the Lions’ special teams in
2009, filling a key role as the long snapper for punts and some field
goals. Dan also added five special teams tackles. |
||||||
| 2007-2009: Dan is entering his fourth season with the club and his third official CFL campaign as a special teams player and backup defensive end. He has played 36 consecutive games for the Lions and has 10 career special teams tackles. He is one of several players to come to the club from Bishop’s University. | ||||||
| McCullough played five seasons at defensive end with the Gaiters after spending two years with the Cegep AAA Champlain Cougars. He also served as the team’s long snap specialist and was selected to the East-West Bowl the last two years. He did not miss a game in his five years with the Gaiters, recording 118 tackles, including 96 solo tackles, in 32 games and also added 18 sacks and 33 TFL. He was selected to the Quebec University Football League All-Star team in 2005. | ||||||
