Greg Frers

Greg Frers was a three time Western All-Star and an All-Canadian in 2000 at Safety, playing mainly for the Calgary Stampeders.  Frers was a second round (14th overall) pick by Calgary in the 1993 CFL draft.  In his first stint with Calgary from 1993 to 1995, Frers played mostly on special teams and as a free-agent signed with Winnpeg and got a chance to play regularily on defense for the first tiem in 1996.  The BC Lions apparently liked what they saw and traded DL Tony Baily, RB Ronald Williams and a sixth round pick to Calgary to get Frers.  Frers rcorded a then career high 44 tackles and had 3 interceptions in his one year in BC in 1997.  Surprisingly, the Lions released Frers in July of 1998 and he returned to Calgary as a free-agent.  In his first year back in Calgary, it was once again mainly special teams for Frers, but he resumed his starting role in 1999 and held it for the next four years, winning three straight Western All-Star honours in 1999, 2000 and 2001, with All-Canadian honours also in 2000 when he had a career high 7 interceptions.  Greg Frers retired in February of 2003.
