ROBINSON, Texas (FOX 44) \u2014 Jason Tucker went from playing high school football at Robinson to playing alongside Troy Aikman for the Dallas Cowboys, culminating in a historic career in the Canadian Football League.<\/p>\n

Tucker played seven seasons for the Edmonton Eskimos where he recorded multiple 1,000 yard season and finished 7th in receiving yards in franchise history.<\/p>\n

The storied career was cut short due to an injury so he transitioned into coaching in 2009 and has been doing that ever since.<\/p>\n

Tucker has now been a receivers coach in the CFL for 12 seasons. Despite being far from home he continues to feel the support from the Robinson faithful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe support from all angles and all areas makes you feel special,\u201d Tucker said. \u201cThe Robinson community has always been a big supporter of mine and they are always there and there is nothing like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Edmonton Elks have just begun their season and Tucker is hoping to help lead the team to win another Grey Cup, this time as a coach.<\/p>\n
