From accounting to the CFL 2011

profile from 2011
On November 28, 2009, Gaels' quarterback and Commerce student Danny Branagan led the team to a nail-biting win over the University of Calgary Dinos to capture the national university football championship. Thinking that was the end of his football career, Danny had accepted a job with PwC, which he was preparing for when he was invited to try out for the CFL.
After performing well at evaluation camp, Danny was drafted by the Toronto Argonauts. "I’m very fortunate," Danny told Smith Magazine in 2011, "that PwC has been very accommodating in allowing me to postpone my start date until January, after the CFL season has finished." At the time, Danny was the only Canadian quarterback in the CFL.
