The Calgary Stampeders liked draft pick Tunde Adeleke so much they signed him twice.

The Stamps took Adeleke, a defensive back and kick returner out of Carleton, in the third round (25th overall) in the 2017 CFL Draft. After inking the Ottawa native to a contract, the team was forced to do the deal a second time after realizing they’d spelled his name wrong on the original.

With the paperwork all squared away, expect Adeleke to be at Stampeders rookie camp this week.
