OTTAWA — CFL all-star DeVonte Dedmon has returned to the Ottawa Redblacks following his release from the NFL’s Miami Dolphins.

The 26-year-old from Williamsburg, Va., was named the CFL’s most outstanding special teams player and to the league’s all-star team in 2021 when Dedmon compiled 2,841 return yards and three touchdowns.

Dedmon rejoins Ottawa (1-8) for the rest of the season.

“DeVonte has proven himself to be a top player in our league who is always a threat with the ball in his hands,” Redblacks coach Paul LaPolice said Saturday in a statement.

“It’s exciting for the team to be able to add a player of his calibre to the roster and we’re happy to have him back in the mix.”
