Gerald Wilcox was a first round draft pick of t he Ottawa Rough Riders in the 1989 CFL college draft.  Wilcox played three seasons in Ottawa (1989-91).  He had a decent rookie season in 1989 with 24 catches, but injuries lomited him to just 3 games and 6 catches in 1990.  In 1991, Wilcox bounced back with 26 catches in his final season in Ottawa.  In June of 1992, Wilcox was traded to Winnipeg for CB Less Browne.  It was in his second season in Winnipeg, in 1993, that Wilcox broke out with 79 catches for 1340 yards to win West All-Star honours, and be the runner-up as the OUtstanding Canadian in the CFL.  Wilcox showed it was not a fluke by having about as agood a season as any receiver could have in 1994 with 111 catches for 1624 yards.  This time Wilicox was both a West All-Star and a CFL All-Star as well as winning the Outstanding Canadian award. In 1995, Wilcox missed three gamess, but still had his t hird straight thousand yards season receiving with 69 catches for 1024 yards.  Unfortuantely, injuries then limited Wilcox to just 4 games and 20 catches in 1996.  In June, 1997, Wilcox was traded to Calgary for the rights to RB Dick Tyler and OL Franco Rocco.  Wilcox played just two games with Calgary, before announcing his retirement in July of 1997.  Wilcox finished his career with 356 catches for 5,478 yards.
