David Luther
Village area of Toronto. David and his partner Chelsey Shaw have been living together for three years with their Golden Retriever Rylie. David began studying at Ryerson University in September, concurrent with his work for GWL. Karl McCartney finished a solid season with the Saint Mary’s University Huskies in 2009 and, despite not being invited to the CFL’s Evaluation Camp, he fully expected to be picked at the May 2, 2010 CFL Draft. While surfing the internet at home in the Bahamas, Karl read an article by a respected CFL analyst who referenced Karl’s future in football. Karl was stunned to read the following line: “Once a prized recruit, he [Karl] is now done with football.” However, thankfully for Karl, the Calgary Stampeders decided to do some research of their own. They got in touch with Karl, who assured them that he was still very interested in playing, and to prove it, he paid his own way to a football camp in Florida where he was put through two days of drills. The tape of those drills was sent to Calgary, and the Stampeders liked what they saw enough to pick him in the fifth round, 37th overall – a selection they hope can turn into one of the steals of the draft.
