Cristophe Beaulieu (born December 6, 1999) is a Canadian professional football defensive back for the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Beaulieu chose to enroll at Université Laval in 2020, but did not play football that year due to the cancellation of the 2020 U Sports football season.[1] He then played U Sports football for the Laval Rouge et Or from 2021 to 2023.[2] [3] He played in 29 games where he recorded 84.5 tackles, three tackles for losses, 17 pass breakups, and four interceptions.[3] He was named a First Team All-Canadian in 2022 and a Second Team All-Canadian in 2023.[3]
Beaulieu was drafted in the third round, 26th overall, by the BC Lions in the 2024 CFL draft and signed with the team on May 7, 2024.[4] Following training camp in 2024, he made the team's active roster and played in his first professional game on June 9, 2024, against the Toronto Argonauts where he had one special teams tackle.[2] He later made his first professional start, at safety, on August 2, 2024, against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, where he recorded three defensive tackles.[5]
Bealieu's brother, Jordan Beaulieu, also played in the Canadian Football League as a defensive back for four seasons.[6]
