Since the end of the 2017 season, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have completed an absolute overhaul of their receiving corps, with one notable mainstay.

If you look back at the Bombers starting lineup from that year, only veteran Darvin Adams remains in the receiving group.

Long gone are the likes of Weston Dressler, Clarence Denmark, Julian Feoli-Gudino, L’Damian Washington, Matt Coates, Chris Givens, Kenbrell Thompkins and Ryan Lankford.

Replacing them are names like Chris Matthews, Nic Demski, Drew Wolitarsky, Kenny Lawler, Rasheed Bailey.

Tying them all together and leading them into battle is Adams, a 29-year-old from Mississippi who has led the team in receiving yards the last two seasons.

“We enjoy continuity,” Bombers head coach Mike O’Shea said after a training camp session Wednesday afternoon at IG Field. “Unfortunately, in any pro sport, it’s tough to always maintain.

“That makes Darvin very important. He’s a guy who is extremely experienced, he’s very smart. He understands the playbook as well as anybody does and he can teach and help these young guys out. I know he does and people look up to him in that regard.”
