Selected in the first round, sixth overall, by Edmonton in the 2012 CFL Draft out of Wilfrid Laurier University, Chambers has recorded 169 receptions for 1,822 yards and eight touchdowns over 77 games during his seven-year CFL career with the Eskimos (2012-15, 2017), Saskatchewan Roughriders (2016) and Tiger-Cats (2017-18).
