Chris Getzlaf (born January 9, 1983) is a Canadian professional football slotback who is currently a member of the Edmonton Eskimos. He played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (CFL) for eight seasons before becoming a free agent in 2016. He was drafted in the fifth round, 33rd overall by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the 2007 CFL Draft and was later traded that season to the Roughriders. He played CIS football for the Regina Rams.
Prior to turning pro Getzlaf played with the junior team Prairie Thunder and the collegiate team Regina Rams in his hometown of Regina Saskatchewan.
Born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, Getzlaf grew up playing ice hockey in addition to football with his younger brother, Ryan, an NHL All-Star, two-time Olympic gold medalist and Stanley Cup champion for the Anaheim Ducks.
He is married to Tia.
Getzlaf was chosen by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the fifth round, 33rd overall, in the 2007 CFL Draft. After dressing for the first two games of the season, he spent the rest of the season on two teams' practice rosters.
Chris Getzlaf was then traded to the Saskatchewan Roughriders with Corey Holmes in exchange for Jason Armstead on August 19, 2007. While he was on the practice roster during the Roughriders' 2007 Grey Cup victory, he still shared in the win, meaning that both he and his brother, Ryan, ended up 2007 champions with their respective teams.
