But those topics are secondary to his health.

“Everyone asks about the knee,” Guy said. “I simply just tell them, ‘Hey, you saw the knee, but did you see what I did after? Tell me how many guys stand up and go back to the huddle instead of rolling around asking for a trainer.’

“I don’t know if it’s a high pain tolerance, just more of my love for football. I’ve always had the feeling that no one’s ever carrying me off the field. I walk off the field under my own power.”

It’s that type of lunch-bucket mentality that will endear teams.

The bloodlines — Guy’s father, Shawn, played football at Purdue University and had a cup of coffee with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats — are of interest, as well.

Even though he went to school close to home, Guy’s family only has one priority when it comes to where he lands.

“I don’t really think too much about it and he doesn’t really think too much about it,” Guy said of the Hamilton connection. “He’s just laughing and he says, ‘Find a place where it’s good fishing.”

Guy’s next stop is Friday’s workout in front of Wally Buono and the B.C. Lions, with the Ticats, Toronto Argos and Saskatchewan Roughriders (on May 9, the day before the draft) also scheduled.

He doesn’t care who picks him.

“I’m a guy who always has his bags packed and is ready to go,” Guy said. “I’ve told every team, as soon as you draft me let’s get the contract dealt with within two days and let’s fly out and get right into football. That’s just the way it is. That’s not just me talking what they want to hear, that’s just the type of person I am.”

EXTRA POINTS

The Stampeders signed a trio of receivers Thursday. The biggest name of the signees — all of whom attended the team’s mini-camp in Florida earlier this month — is Canadian pass-catcher Matthew Norzil, who was a fourth-round pick of the Toronto Argonauts in last year’s draft, before catching on with the Stamps late in the season. Also inking deals were Josh Harper, a 6-foot-1, 185-pounder out of Fresno State University, and Jamal Nixon, a 5-foot-11, 215-pounder out of Division II University of Arkansas-Monticello.
