Professional career

The 2006 season saw Logan appearing in 14 regular season games for the Blue & Gold. He made his CFL debut in the team’s regular season opener versus the Montreal Alouettes. He finished the regular season with one defensive tackle and five special teams tackles. He also dressed for the team’s Eastern Semifinal Championship loss to the Toronto Argonauts at Rogers Centre.

Logan blossomed in his second season during 2007. He dressed for 15 regular season games including four starts at corner. He finished the regular season with 16 defensive tackles, three special teams tackles, two pass knockdowns and two interception returns for 16 yards. His two INTs ranked second among Bomber defenders.

For the 2008 season, Logan won the starting spot at safety after week 7. He then went on to start the next 11 regular season games he dressed for. He also started at safety for the East semi-final versus Edmonton. He finished the campaign with 38 defensive tackles, 19 special teams tackles—second most on the team—, two sacks, and a tackle for loss.

The 2009 season was Logan’s first full season as a CFL starter and he did not disappoint. Logan started 16 games at safety for the Blue and Gold (missed week eight and nine). He finished with 44 defensive tackles, four interceptions and also chipped in on special teams, making 13 tackles on that unit. He made seven tackles on July 19, 2009 at Hamilton (25-13 L).

Logan was part of the self-titled "Swaggerville" defence that led the Bombers to their first division win during the 2011 Winnipeg Blue Bombers season. That year he was named to the east division all-star team for the first time and his first ever CFL All-Star team a short time later. [2] [3] When asked what the award meant Logan said that "I was undrafted, so it's a great story going from undrafted to a CFL all-star." [4]

2011 Winnipeg Blue Bombers season NFL American football season

The 2011 Winnipeg Blue Bombers was the 54th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 79th overall. The Blue Bombers finished in 1st place in the East Division with a 10–8 record. The team clinched their first playoff berth since 2008 on October 7, 2011 after a 33–17 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. On November 20, 2011, The Blue Bombers defeated the Tiger-Cats 19–3 in the East Final, advancing to the 99th Grey Cup and extending their Grey Cup appearances record to 24. However, the Bombers lost the Grey Cup game 34–23 to the BC Lions, extending their drought to 21 years without a Grey Cup championship. Their Grey Cup appearance marked their final playoff game played in five seasons, failing to make the playoffs in the four subsequent seasons following their loss to the Lions team. Incidentally, their first playoff game subsequent to their four-year playoff drought was also against the same BC Lions team they lost in the Grey Cup game in 2011, losing in a 32-31 come-from-behind victory for the Lions, ending the 2016 Winnipeg Blue Bombers season. Additionally, the Blue Bombers wouldn't host another playoff game again until the 2017 CFL season, this time losing to the Edmonton Eskimos 39-32.

Logan was released by the Blue Bombers on March 26, 2013. [5] He announced his retirement on May 27, 2013. [6]
