CAREER

Pro path

Calgary signed Chevrier as a free agent on Jan. 31, 2005. He was selected in the seventh round (241st overall) by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2001 NFL Draft and was selected in the first round (fifth overall) by Edmonton in the 2001 CFL Draft. In 2001, he attended training camp with the Jaguars before joining the Dallas Cowboys and then the Cincinnati Bengals. Chevrier attended training camp with the Bengals in 2002 and was allocated to the NFL Europe’s Barcelona Dragons before joining the Eskimos. He attended training camp with the New York Jets in 2004.

2009

After spending the first six years of his CFL career on the defensive side of the football, Chevrier made the switch to offence. Already the club’s long snapper, Chevrier gave the team flexibility by serving as a reserve offensive lineman. He dressed for all 18 regular-season games and both playoff contests. On Aug. 8 against Winnipeg, Chevrier played in his 100th game in the CFL. He did not make a single errant long snap during the season and recorded seven special-teams tackles. He helped the Stamps lead the league in punting average (46.0) and rank second in field goals (42).

2008

The versatile Chevrier continued to provide valuable service to the Stamps adding depth on the defensive line and handling the long-snapping duties. He appeared in all 18 regular-season games as well as the West Final and the Grey Cup. It’s the fourth time in five seasons he has played in every game; missing only the 2007 season finale on Nov. 3 against BC. Chevrier was among the team leaders in special-teams tackles with 13 and added one defensive tackle and a pass knockdown.

2007

Chevrier played 17 games before missing the final contest at BC with an injury. The game was the first he missed as a member of the Stamps (53 straight). His best game of the season came at Edmonton on Aug. 4 when he notched four tackles, one quarterback sack and a special-teams tackle. He added another big game on Sept. 15 against Saskatchewan scoring his first-career touchdown on a one-yard pass from Henry Burris and recovering a fumble. Chevrier was perfect in his long-snapping duties, never misfiring a snap.
