Recently it was stated the esks are looking for a punter. I posted on Winnipeg’s website as well about Chris Hicks from Samford. I have also heard that Edmonton is interested in the kid as well. I talked to Chris yesterday and he stated that he has worked out for both teams and had fair workouts with both. He didn’t know where he stood with either team the BB’s or the Esks. I was just wondering what you guys thought. Here are some of his stats.
