Milt Stegall was on the field at age 54 to take part in the first day of Blue Bombers rookie camp.

started a brand-new season as rookies and quarterbacks reported for the opening day of their three-day rookie camp. But the main attraction on Day 1 was neither a rookie nor a quarterback, but rather a 54-year-old who won’t play a single snap this season.

“That was really fun,” Stegall said. “It’s everything I thought it would be. I got to run around a little bit. Got one ball thrown to me. I didn’t drop it. It was a bad throw, but I’m just so fortunate I was able to experience that and go through that one more time.”All-Star, Stegall still holds numerous league records. The CFL’s 2002 Most Outstanding Player appeared in 199 games with the Bombers over 14 seasons with the team.

“Watching him out there, it’s pretty inspirational,” Bombers head coach Mike O’Shea said. “We’re basically the same age. I mean, I couldn’t do that before, what he does, but I certainly can’t do that now.”
