Calgary running back Steven Lumbala, ranked fifth, is the younger brother of Rolly Lumbala, a full back with the BC Lions. Rolly was drafted ninth overall by the Lions in the 2008 CFL Canadian Draft.
Eastern Michigan defensive lineman Kalonji Kashama, ranked eighth, is the younger brother of Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive end Fernand Kashama and former CFL players Hakeem and Alain Kashama.

Hakeem was undrafted. (source: CFL)
