Before the start of training camp, Calgary Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson predicted that Reggie Begelton could be an All-Star this season.

Quietly, Begelton is making his coach’s prediction look awfully good.

“Quietly” might be the key word there, though.

Begelton has two 100-yard receiving games this season, but hasn’t necessarily had that one breakout game that catches everyone’s attention and gets the national pundits talking.

Week after week, he’s just going out and making plays.

Lots of plays. Enough that he’s sitting in the top five in receiving yards in the entire CFL.

“Yeah, I’m creeping up there, but I’m the type of guy where stats aren’t really my go-to,” Begelton said. “It’s nice to have them, but as long as I can help my team win, whatever I can do to accomplish that is good.

“You have to be a little selfish to the point where you want that breakout, but if I don’t get it, that’s not the end of the world for me. As long as we get that ‘W’ at the end of the day, I just want to be a guy who is consistent. That’s the biggest thing for me, being consistent and reliable so everybody can trust me.”
