Mizzou’s Kendial Lawrence & James Franklin are doing work north of the border

Congratulations on stumbling into my new column, where I check in on #MizzouMade players from a variety of sports and see just what people are doing after leaving CoMo. In this inaugural piece, I'll be looking at two Canadian Football League players: QB James Franklin and RB Kendial Lawrence, both of whom featured prominently in Edmonton's 2015 season, which culminated in a Grey Cup championship.

Kendial Lawrence

We start with the RB, mostly because of this game tying punt return/excellent call from September (Saskatchewan would end up losing after a failed conversion and a Winnipeg FG):

Lawrence parlayed a move to the Edmonton Eskimos in 2014 into a very nice role as a jack-of-all-trades.
