I was just taking a gander at our depth chart the last time we were in the big game in 2014 . You might be surprised to learn that there are still 10 players from that team that are currently still here in 2019 . Another player on that team Craig Butler is now part of our coaching staff . Equally surprising is the fact that there is an additional 12 players from that team still active in football playing elsewhere in some capacity .
Lets take at look at that 2014 Grey Cup roster and see just where are they now :
Current Cats from that 2014 season .
Brandon Banks - wr/kr
Luke Tasker - wr
Mike Filer - c
Simoni Lawrence - lb
Delvin Breaux - db
Rico Murray - lb/db
Mike Daly - s
Ted Laurent - dt
Aaron Crawford - ls
Jeremiah Masoli - qb
Ex Cats playing elsewhere as of end of 2019 season
Zach Collaros - qb Winnipeg
Justin Medlock - k Winnipeg
Courtney Stephen - db Calgary
Fred Plesius - lb Montreal
Ed Gainey - db Saskatchewan
Linden Gaydosh - dt Toronto
Landon Rice - ol Montreal
Mossis Madu -rb Ottawa
Greg Ellingson - wr Edmonton
CJ Gable - rb Edmonton
Joel Figueroa - ot B.C
Erik Harris - lb/db Oakland (NFL)
If we go back further and look at the 2013 Grey Cup roster there are 5 players that will have played in all 3 Grey Cup games including this one on Sunday . Only Banks,Lawrence and Tasker though have seen continuous service with the team since that 2013 season . The latter two (Breaux and Murray) both left for a few years before coming back . In addition both Masoli and Filer were on all three teams but Filer didn’t dress for the 2013 game and of course Masoli won’t be dressing for this one .
