It didn’t take long for Central Michigan receiver Mark Chapman to hear his name called by Canadian Football League commissioner Randy Ambroise on Thursday night.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats selected Chapman first overall the night after completing a blockbuster trade with the Montreal Allouettes to acquire the first-overall pick which involved their #2 pick, several future picks and currently-rostered and negotiate list players.
Chapman was a high riser on the CFL radar after a monster combine performance, and was being considered as the first pick even before Montreal traded out of the pick.
