The BC Lions selected Australian punter Jake Ford first overall in the Canadian Football League Global Draft.
“I’m really excited to get back to the west coast,” Ford said after being selected first overall.
“I visited Vancouver in 2016 and just fell in love with it. Talking with coach Campbell and coach Yanowsky and hearing what they have planned for me has me even more thrilled for the opportunity to wear Lions orange.”

TORONTO - Jake Ford was the first of four Australian punters selected in the first round of the CFL global draft Thursday.
Ford was taken No. 1 overall by the B.C. Lions. Compatriots Joseph Zema (sixth overall by Montreal), Cody Grace (No. 7 by Calgary) and Joel Whitford (No. 8 by Hamilton) also went in the first round.
Steven Nielsen, a six-foot-eight, 307-pound offensive lineman from Denmark who played collegiately at Eastern Michigan and attended the Jacksonville Jaguars training camp, went second overall to the Edmonton Football Team.
The Toronto Argonauts selected Tigie Sankoh, a defensive back from Britain, with the third pick.

Sometimes you go into a project and everything you had planned goes wrong. For the Toronto Argonauts, the results of the 2021 CFL Global Draft went exactly as they had hoped.
After a lottery was held, the Boatmen were assigned the third pick in the draft, which would be held in a ‘snake’ format, meaning the team selecting last in a round would have the first pick in the next round and the teams would continue to draft in inverse order.
The Argos had narrowed their wish list for the third pick down to four players early in the week; hopeful at least one of two players they had identified as the best pair in the draft would fall to the third spot.
