He Wore It Well:

David Shaw, DB, 1983-86

David Shaw was already an established CFL star by the time he arrived in Winnipeg in 1983 in a trade with Hamilton for Leo Ezerins and future considerations. Shaw was a CFL All-Star in 1976, 1980, 1981 and 1982 with the Tiger-Cats and then was an important piece added as the Bombers ended a 22-year Grey Cup drought with a championship in 1984. Shaw had a career-best seven interceptions with the Bombers in 1985 and was a three-time West Division All-Star. His days in Winnipeg ended in October of 1986 after being replaced by James Jefferson in the lineup and asking Cal Murphy for his release.

FYI: 

Paul Randolph quietly did his business among an outstanding group of linebackers that dominated the Bomber roster during his days from 1988-95 and then later as a player-coach with the Montreal Alouettes in 1996-97. Since then he has carved out an outstanding career in coaching and recruiting, having worked with West Virginia, Toledo, Alabma, Rice, Illinois State, Valdosta State, Tennessee-Martin, Arizona State, Pittsburgh, Memphis, Texas Tech and Indiana.
