TORONTO - With the first pick in the 2013 CFL Draft, the d92639393fbb Hamilton Tiger-Cats selected defensive lineman Linden Gaydosh from the University of Calgary.
CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon made the announcement live during the CFL Draft which is currently being broadcast on TSN.
Over the last four years with the Dinos, Gaydosh has recorded 90.5 tackles, seven quarterback sacks and 14 tackles for a loss while starting all but one game on the defensive line.
