The Buzz on Shannon James

I was just channel surfing, saw a CFL game on, and the camera was focused on a defensive back named Shannon James. Yep, the same Shannon James who starred earlier this decade at Bunnell.

James was one of those guys who probably could have played D-I football, but instead went to UMass and became a star. After spending last summer with the Baltimore Ravens, he signed on with the CFL's Calgary Stampeders and became a starter this season.

Here's where you can find some more information on Shannon James, the former Bunnell player who seems to be destined for stardom north of the border:
