April 28, 2009 - Canadian Football League (CFL)
B.C. Lions News Release
(Vancouver) The BC Lions Football Club announced today that import offensive linemen Martin Bibla and Darren Marquez have signed with the team.
Bibla brings a significant amount of experience to the Lions after spending time with the Atlanta Falcons ('02-'05) who selected him in the fourth round (116th overall) in 2002 NFL Draft, as well as the Denver Broncos ('06). The Miami-grad and former teammate of current Lions offensive lineman Sherko Haji-Rasouli also played two seasons ('07-â08) with the Arena Football League's Philadelphia Soul.
Marquez comes to the club after signing with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2008. The New Orleans-native started 39 career games at left tackle for Southern Illinois ('05-'07) and was named to the All-Gateway Conference First-Team as a senior after anchoring a line that paved the way to 2,705 rushing yards in 2007.
