2002 Preseason: After another solid year, it is looking more and more like he and Omarr Morgan will form the best cornerback duo in the CFL.

2001 Preseason:  Looks secure as a starter at cornerback.  Had a fairly decent rookie season, given the fact that his secondary mates were also all rookies.

2000 Regular Season:  Was in a heated battle for one of the cornerback spots.  He won it with his coverage ability.  Will take a while to get use to his defensive backfield mates, but should be solid.  Started to come into his own midway through the season and was a solid performer by the end.

College:  Excellent cover man with a nose for the football.  Surprisingly effective tackler for his size.  Rated one of the top DB prospects in 1999 draft.  Eventually was not drafted but signed as a free agent with Dallas Cowboys.

Trivia:  Name is pronounced "La-DOFF-ous".  Nickname is "Sandman".  Given to him by his sister, because he liked to play in the sand so much.

Mine:  LaDouphyous McCalla (#22) makes the pick against Texas

I think I'll go around you:   McCalla runs into some traffic on a punt return.

Come back:  McCalla (#47) tries to tackle fellow Dallas rookie WR Mar Tay Jenkins at Cowboy training camp in 1999.

Headhunter:  McCalla rips off the helmut of an opposing receiver.
