Blaszko, 24, has yet to appear in a CFL game. He spent the entire season on the Bombers practice roster after the six foot four Canadian pass catcher was cut by the BC Lions at the end of their training camp.

Blaszko was on the Lions practice roster for his rookie season after he was selected in the third round 23rd overall in the 2016 CFL Draft. He was the 2012 Canada West rookie of the year with the Calgary Dinos and was named a CIS All-Canadian in 2014.
