If you’ve been a receiver for the Calgary Stampeders over the past couple seasons, chances are you’ve caught touchdown passes from one guy – Bo Levi Mitchell.

Unless, that is, you are Lemar Durant.

Last week against the Ottawa Redblacks, Durant was on the receiving end of the first touchdown pass of backup QB Nick Arbuckle’s CFL career.

That made Arbuckle the fourth Stampeders quarterback to throw a touchdown to Durant since the receiver made his debut with the team in 2015.

“It’s definitely weird,” Durant said. “It’s a good sign for me, in a way, that when a different quarterback comes in they trust me.”

In 2015, Durant caught touchdowns from Mitchell, backup Drew Tate and third-stringer Bryant Moniz, and the TD last week from Arbuckle was the first of his season after a long injury layoff.

He’s slowly but surely worked his way back into game-shape and while he hasn’t had a game with huge numbers, just yet, he sure doesn’t look as if the injury has caused him to lose a step.

“Every week, it’s getting better and better,” Durant said. “I’m starting to feel more confident in route-running and the plays in general.”
