Riders pre-season standouts ready to face Edmonton on Saturday
Training camp is all about embracing the opportunities presented in front of you and for several members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders in their pre-season opener victory on Monday against Winnipeg – that’s exactly what they did.
The Roughriders seventh-round selection in the CFL Draft Ajou Ajou went off in his preseason debut on Monday – registering four catches for 62 yards and one touchdown.
After spending several years playing college football at various schools in the United States, the 22-year-old receiver from Brooks, Alta is hoping his work this training camp can find him a new home in Saskatchewan.
“This is where it all started,” Ajou said when asked if he surprised himself by doing so well given he hasn’t played competitive Canadian football since he was in high school. “It’s muscle memory I guess. I just got to say shoutout to my boy Shea (Patterson) – he saw me and he delivered. It was good.”
