Rob Bagg hopes to spend entire career as a Roughrider
He is the longest-serving Roughrider and a fan favourite, but Rob Bagg still considers himself a bit of an underdog.
The 32-year-old receiver was not selected in the 2007 CFL Draft, the Riders instead opting to sign him after the draft was over. It’s something that still bugs him ten years later.
“The fact that I was wasn’t drafted still burns me today because I know I was one of the best Canadian receivers in college,” he said after a morning practice at training camp in Saskatoon this week.
Though it’s Bagg who got the last laugh. His decade in the CFL has outlasted all the other receivers taken in the 2007 draft, save one: former Riders teammate and current Edmonton Eskimo Chris Getzlaf.
