HAMMOND \u2014 Former Southeastern Louisiana University defensive end Warren Peeples will continue his professional career as a member of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL).<\/p>\n
Peeples signed with the Blue Bombers last month after spending the 2025 season as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad. He will be the second active former Lion in the CFL, as former SLU defensive end Isaac Adeyemi-Berglund is a six-year CFL veteran and currently a member of the Montreal Alouettes.<\/p>\n
In his lone season in Hammond during 2024, Peeples was a first-team All-Southland Conference selection. The Stone Mountain, Georgia, native led the Lions with 7.5 tackles for loss and five sacks to go with 33 tackles, eight quarterback hurries and a forced fumble.<\/p>\n
