Winnipeg Blue Bomber Kyrie Wilson didn't have the easiest journey to end up in Winnipeg, but after seven years says it's home. 

Seven years ago the Bombers linebacker wondered if his football days were coming to an end. 

"I was with the [Oakland] Raiders in training camp for the whole camp and I got released," Wilson said. "One of the scout teams from Winnipeg saw me playing and they recruited me to come up here. I went through all pre-season and then actually got cut after the last pre-season game. Then, three weeks later, I came back and have been here ever since."
