If nothing else, Lemar Durant can make a very unique claim following his rookie season in the Canadian Football League.

The Coquitlam, B.C., product in 2015 was the only member of the Calgary Stampeders to haul in a touchdown pass from each of the Red and White’s three quarterbacks – Bo Levi Mitchell, Drew Tate and Bryant Moniz.

That bit of trivia, however, only tells part of the story for the Simon Fraser alum who was Calgary’s second-round selection in the 2015 draft.

Durant was brought along slowly, as reflected by his stats – 12 catches for 170 yards and those three touchdowns – but in limited action he provided Stamps fans a glimpse of what might be coming in future seasons. Particularly impressive was the six-foot-two receiver’s ability to slip through would-be tacklers’ fingers and fight for extra yardage.

“At the start it was pretty tough just getting adjusted to everything and just getting used to being in a new place,” said Durant of his introduction to the pros. “Once the season went on and with the coaches’ and players’ help and just taking on a bigger role, I felt more comfortable and started to play better and better. I think that’s good for going into next year.”

Durant is cautious when asked if he met his own expectations.

“To a certain extent,” he remarked. “Sometimes I felt like I could have done more and other times I was put in some positions that I didn’t think that I’d be put in. There was some good with some bad, but overall it went pretty well and I was just happy that I could contribute and be a big member to the team.”

He’s eager to apply the lessons learned as a rookie to his sophomore season.

“It’ll probably just be attention to detail,” he said. “When you get into the game, every inch counts, so just making sure I get my route depth and making sure I look the ball in. Just all the little things like that. I feel other than that, I’m pretty good with everything, but there’s always room to get better in every aspect and that’s my biggest priority.”

From a team perspective, the Stamps’ loss in the Western Final after a 14-4 regular season and Semi-Final victory over BC provides fuel for 2016.

“Every time you lose, especially this close to the Grey Cup, the motivation just builds up,” he noted. “I’m making sure I train really hard in the off-season and hope for a better result and not feel this feeling again of losing so close (to a championship).”

While John Hufnagel steps away from the Calgary sideline to concentrate on his general manager duties, Durant looks forward to the continuity provided by offensive coordinator Dave Dickenson stepping into the head coaching position.

“Overall, I think he’s going to keep it fairly similar,” said Durant, “and me and (Dave) have a good relationship. I’m looking forward to it and I think that we’ll be good going into next year with him as our head coach.”
