Hamilton Tiger-Cats select defensive lineman Gaydosh first in CFL draft
TORONTO – The Hamilton Tiger-Cats selected Calgary Dinos defensive lineman Linden Gaydosh first overall in the CFL draft.
The six-foot-three, 314-pound Gaydosh was the third-ranked prospect for the draft by the CFL’s scouting bureau but solidified his status with an impressive showing at the league’s combine in March.
That, combined with six of the top seven prospects either returning to school or garnering serious NFL interest, put Gaydosh firmly atop the wish list of several CFL teams.
That included the Winipeg Blue Bombers, who tried trading up to the No. 1 pick to take Gaydosh but couldn’t finalize a deal and held on to the second-overall selection.
