The Calgary Stampeders brought in some help for their decimated offensive line Wednesday signing American John Estes.

Estes signed with the National Football League's Jacksonville Jaguars in 2010 and remained with the club through the 2012 season.

He was with the Arizona Cardinals in 2014 and attended training camp with the BC Lions in 2014 and 2015.

Estes played four seasons (2006-09) at the University of Hawaii and was named first team all-Western Athletic Conference in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

He was named one of the six finalists for the Rimington Award as the top centre in college football during his senior season.

The Stamps are in Ottawa Friday to battle the Red Blacks.
