Professional career The Calgary Stampeders chose Comiskey 19th overall in the third round of the 2005 CFL draft and he played seven games of the 2005 CFL season and all 18 games of the 2006 CFL season for the Stampeders. Comiskey played 13 regular season games of the 2007 CFL season for Calgary and the West Semi-Final game, missing five games due to a shoulder nerve injury.

He re-signed with the Eskimos on December 4, 2008, for two years plus an optional year.
