Comfort of Calgary draws all-star lineman Derek Dennis back to Stampeders
CALGARY — Derek Dennis didn’t dye his hair red for Calgary Stampeders training camp, but says he’ll be sporting crimson locks by the season-opener.
The man who won the CFL’s outstanding lineman award as a Stampeder in 2016 had green hair last season as a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
But the Roughriders abruptly released Dennis the day free agency opened in February.
The 29-year-old from New York chose to return to the Stampeders for multiple reasons and previous success was high on that list.
