Age nothing but a number for Riders’ A.J. Jefferson
It didn’t take long for defensive back A.J. Jefferson to find a landing spot after being released by the Redblacks last week.
Jefferson was in the midst of his third season in the league when he was dropped by Ottawa on July 10. In a tweet after his release, he said he was told they wanted someone younger to play his position.
Jefferson is 29.
“You’re only as old as you feel,” Jefferson said when asked about it. “I feel 24, I feel young and I can still run, so it’ll be exciting to put it back on film.”
