Edmonton Eskimos: Immigration

Jacksonville Jaguars Dept: “Third year, made the team, I’m happy, three days later I walk in and ‘crrrrrk’ — I’ve been released,’’ Hawkins, 26, a product of Illinois State in his first CFL season, said. “I didn’t ask why, according to Globe And Mail. It was early September, 2008, when Collier, a Jaguars offensive lineman, was sitting in a car in Jacksonville with former teammate Kenny Pettway and got shot 14 times. While Pettway, now with the Edmonton Eskimos, was unharmed, Collier was paralyzed and subsequently lost a leg. The shooter received a life sentence and he had made the Jacksonville Jaguars’ roster for a third consecutive season. Then teammate Richard Collier got shot. “They said they had to make some roster moves because of the whole Rich Collier incident — a good friend of mine who got shot. I said, ‘okay, thanks for the opportunity.’’’ As reported in the news.
