Derry native, Jude McAtamney, has made the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL. McAtamney played Gaelic football growing up in Ireland, and majored in labour and employment relations at Rutgers, where he received academic All-Big Ten honours. The 26 year old, also had a stint in the NFL with the New York Giants.

The CFL has something called the Global Draft, which gives International players, the opportunity to play in the CFL. He was drafted at 6th, this year, and making the team, is a HUGE accomplishment. The incumbent Kicker is Renè Paredes, who is injured and may not play again. McAtamney has a massive opportunity to grab the job and not relinquish it.

Here's a pic of Jude and I at the Stampeders Fan Fest. He liked my shirt. We brief-bonded on all things Derry and bit of Kneecap talk. What a nice man, we're so lucky to have him. Thank you, Derry, and North of Ireland!

Check the links I attached so you can catch his progress and growth. Give the lad some love!!
