Mercy Maston's Football Journey
Starting in the CFL
Mercy Maston began his professional football journey in the Canadian Football League (CFL). He joined the Edmonton Eskimos in 2017. However, he didn't get to play much because of an injury to his Achilles tendon. This is a strong cord at the back of your ankle.
After two years with the Eskimos, Mercy left the team in January 2019. He then signed a special contract with the Philadelphia Eagles in the National Football League (NFL). But he was released before he could play in an NFL game.
Joining the Blue Bombers
In August 2019, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL needed new players. They signed Maston to help their team. He quickly made a big impact. Maston helped the Blue Bombers win the 107th Grey Cup in 2019. This is the championship game of the CFL. They beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats with a score of 33–12.
After this big win, he signed a new contract with Winnipeg. This contract was for the 2020 season.
Challenges and Retirement
Sadly, the 2019 season was the last time Maston played in a regular season game. He faced several injuries that kept him from playing.
The 2020 CFL season was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Maston decided to take a break from his contract with the Blue Bombers in August 2020. He signed a new one-year contract with the team in January 2021.
However, during training camp for the 2021 CFL season, Maston suffered another serious Achilles tendon injury. This injury meant he could not play for the entire season. After the season, he signed another contract for the 2022 season. But once again, he got injured during training camp and missed the whole regular season.
On February 14, 2023, Mercy Maston became a free agent. This means he was free to sign with any team. However, due to his repeated injuries, he did not continue his playing career.
