Stepping out onto the field at McMahon Stadium won’t be anything new for Anthony Parker and Matt Walter but the jerseys on their backs will be. The two University of Calgary Dinos were both picked up by the Calgary Stampeders in yesterday’s CFL draft and say they’re happy to stick around home. “I’ve played here a lot but never in front of 40,000 fans, so it’s going to be fun,” said Parker, a receiver who played high school football in Okotoks, and was the Stamps’ first-round pick. “This is always where I’ve wanted to play, so I’m very excited.” Parker’s father and uncle both

We’ve worked hard to rebuild our program and get it back on the national spotlight,” he said. “I’ve been coaching long enough to know that these kids are quality kids. They’re deserving of the opportunity given them today.”
