Riders’ AJ Ouellette ready to rush against Argos for first time
AJ Ouellette is looking forward to facing off against some familiar faces this week.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders running back will take on the Toronto Argonauts for the first time as a CFL player. Kickoff for the game at Mosaic Stadium on Thursday is set for 7 p.m. The Green Zone pregame show begins at 5 p.m.
“I always liked playing against players that you know and respect. I’m going to have fun getting after (linebacker) Wynton (McManis) and I’m sure he’s going to have fun trash-talking me,” Ouellette said.
The now 28-year-old running back played five seasons at Ohio with the Bobcats, recording 3,833 rushing yards and six touchdowns in his time there.
