EDMONTON — Mention Nelkas Kwemo to even the most ardent CFL fan and chances are they’d be hard-pressed to provide anything about the kid’s skill set.

Ask even the most diehard of Argos fans and they, too, wouldn’t be able to pinpoint the position Kwemo plays or the role he is asked to perform on the team.

Kwemo is among a long list of young Canadian talent patiently going about their business under some adverse conditions when you look at where the Argos are situated in the standings and see the zero in the win column.

During his rookie season last year, Kwemo was part of an Argos team that won four games.

Amid all this losing, Kwemo always has never shown any sign of defeat.

There are high maintenance players on every team, low maintenance athletes and then there are the rarest of exceptions, the zero maintenance player.

And that’s where Kwemo resides, a hard-working linebacker who does most of his work on special teams.
