What an incredible story
@Bighill44 was! I wish we could have predicted that after coming to a
@BCLions Free Agent Camp in 2011 we knew he'd turn into a CFL HoF player, but we didn't. In typical Biggie fashion, he exceeded everyone's expectations and now is the standard to what all CFL LB's will be judged.
When you talk about what defines a football player, he's it. Athletic, tough, instinctive, productive, etc. Adam Bighill did it all, and did all of it at an elite level throughout his career. Most importantly, he was one of the best leaders, on and off the field, that I ever saw or heard about. Biggie was the rising tide that lifted all boats. He challenged his teammates, and even his coaches, to be better, smarter and more prepared.
Congratulations on your retirement, brother! Next stop, CFL Hall of Fame!
