Receiver Marquay McDaniel is entering his seventh season with the Red and White after re-signing with the team right before he hit the free-agent market in February.

He first entered the league in 2009 and played three seasons in Hamilton before making the move to Calgary. He was the Ticats’ nominee for Most Outstanding Rookie after leading the league with 2,535 all-purpose yards.

He’s hit the 1,000-yard receiving mark three times – all while with the Stamps in 2013, 2015 and 2016. He’s also finished as the Stamps’ leading receiver three seasons in 2013, 2014 and 2016.

He played his 100th CFL game in last year’s opener on June 25 at BC.
