– Riders Rookies Rate Reactions
Day two of rookie camp saw more signings and ways to impress coaches and fans.
Let’s get the signings out of the way.
Linebacker Jake Doughty, defensive back Tyree Hollins and defensive lineman Lee Pegues were signed, bringing 43 offensive players on the roster and 42 defensive players. This number is important because the number has to be brought down to 75 by Saturday/Sunday, which means the first round of cuts will come from the rookies who took to the field for the last two days and ended a long and brutally boring winter and spring.
Again just the two quarterbacks Brett Smith and Noah Picton, and while Smith had no problem with taking the ball down and running if he saw nothing, Picton the Canadian showed an effective arm that made passes although you almost expected him to fall apart since he doesn’t look an American quarterback.
