Cute moment between Mike Reilly, daughter caught on camera at Edmonton Eskimos practice

An endearing father/daughter moment was caught on camera following Thursday morning’s Edmonton Eskimos practice at Commonwealth Stadium.

Quarterback Mike Reilly and his eight-month-old daughter, Brooklyn, spent some quality time on the turf. Brooklyn, who was born in November, appeared a bit uncertain of the texture of the ground beneath her bare knees.

“She was, like, planking out there, doing push-ups or something, I don’t know,” Reilly said. “She crawls around the apartment all the the time. But I think the turf felt a little funny underneath her hands, she was trying to figure it out.

“I was like, let’s see if she will crawl across the field a little bit, and she wouldn’t have it. But she has a strong core… like her dad,” Reilly added with a laugh.

Following another come-from-behind win last week against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Reilly was named one of the three Shaw CFL Performers of the Week.
