The Calgary Stampeders have signed the three players they selected in January’s inaugural Canadian Football League-Liga de Futbol Americano Profesional (CFL-LFA) draft.
The players from the LFA, Mexico’s top league, are receiver Andres Salgado (first round, ninth overall), kicker Oscar Hugo Silva (second round, 18th overall) and offensive lineman Guillermo Calderon (third round, 27th overall).
Salgado led the LFA with an average of 18.9 yards per catch. For the season, he had 31 catches for 586 yards. Salgado had a 44-yard touchdown reception in the Mexico City Condors’ victory in the league’s championship game, the Mexico Bowl.
