Luke & his wife always stayed close to pop and home, Buffalo USA. Made his own wooden home in Buffalo, still a short covert to the Hammer.

His wife and him just had they’re 1st child, a boy and named him “Steel” Kind of Luke Steeltwon. Luke has always been reliable and dependable receiver.

Remains humble and great attitude on any team who’s fortunate to sign him for 2018.

The caps right this year for all the signings, let’s just hope Luke remains a Ti-gercat!

Sorry Snake, Sask is way too far from Buffalo for him.

Agree with @Franz… most likely see Tasker with Sask this season… catching passes from his best buddy Collaros…

In reply to jim. You would have to get the other Helmet Football leagues to agree of course the NFL but also XLeague in Japan. Randy should start with other than NFL leagues and then bring the data to the NFL after a few years.

Tasker is a good dependable receiver, the NFL likely would want him to be a few inches taller.

In reply to Taylor.

Yes and soccer players are assets. You can sell them to other teams and get cash for them. Can’t see why we have to “trade” all the time.
When TFC had that English Premier player a couple of years ago they were paying him millions but they sold him to an English Premier division club and recovered their investment.
Wouldn’t it be great if the CFL changed their thinking and rules

CFL teams should be able to get transfer fees the way Fifa soccer teams do to compensate for development. Montreal Impact just sold an 18 yr old to Barcelona FC

Tasker reminds me of Darren Flutie. He’s more quick than fast, with great hands and runs great routes . The Cats need to re-sign him . The previous “Chrebet” comparison is right on the nose !

In reply to BigD. Those guys aren't really that fast. I'm sure Tasker is in the same range. You can make a living in the NFL as a smaller possession receiver if you're a master at avoiding the big hit, or you can take the pounding. When these guys go underneath in the NFL they're going to take hits from guys 40, 50, or more lbs heavier than they are. That's a lot of damage potential. There was a guy named Wayne Chrebet a few years ago who was one of these guys. An interesting trivia note on him is that he tried out for the Baltimore Stallions CFL team, got cut, then went on to try out for the NY Jets and ended up playing for them for 10 years. But I also read an article on him where he said he'd had 7 concussions playing in the NFL.
