A foot injury last Labour Day hobbled what very well could have been Nic Demski’s breakout season.

He’s entering 2018 in the uniform of his hometown team, hungrier than ever for success.

“I got hurt at a time where I was doing good in my season as well,” Demski said this week at Blue Bombers mini-camp at Investors Group Field. “So I mean I’m just excited, that just adds fuel to the fire to go back out here and have a great year.”

Demski, selected sixth overall by Saskatchewan Roughriders in the 2015 CFL Draft, spent the last three seasons with the team. He got off to a strong start in an increased role in their receiving corps in 2017, reeling in 19 receptions for 222 yards and a touchdown in his first nine games.

Against the Bombers in the annual Labour Day Classic, though, he broke a bone in his foot, and was ultimately forced to sit out the remainder of the season.

He says he hasn’t reached his full potential yet.
