Mexican kicker getting his first taste of CFL in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — Jose Maltos looks like your ordinary CFL kicker, but he has travelled some distance to Lions training camp in Kamloops.
Earlier this month, he drove nine hours from his hometown in Monterrey, Mexico to Dallas, Texas for a workout at a B.C. Lions workout before being invited to main camp.
Like many Mexicans, Maltos grew up playing soccer. He played on his high school team, but one day, while he was fooling around kicking a football, a coach noticed him.
