That interview is not the usual retirement bouquet, packed with interesting content, good to hear his perspective.

Last post by Sir Blue and Gold - April 21, 2026, 07:04:42 PMHe's kind of a hybrid player. He's largely played his career as a safety which in the CFL often translates to safety or that strong side linebacker spot. Maybe they also like him as a corner but usually those guys have a certain mold. Usually you don't find guys like him at half and we're pretty set there to be sure.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Cfl draft
Last post by VictorRomano - April 21, 2026, 06:35:05 PMWeird that Darius Bell (OL, East Carolina) so far down the board at 13, given that he's the one true centre that I imagine would go in the first round. I wouldn't mind seeing the Bombers pick him up to shore up our inside run game, but I'd be happy with Vaccaro or Jonathan Denis if we take one of those guys with our #4, and grab Bell with pick #13 if he' s still available. Albert Reese IV might be a good choice as well, given he's an absolute beast and has played both tackle positions and guard, and his measureables are pretty decent (6'6". 330#, 29 reps @ 225#, orangutan arms (34 7/8") with a 5.20 40 yard dash time.

Article says he's a DB, where do you get LB? Must be a good one to get actual NFL game time on numerous clubs, should be a real contender for a roster or PR spot.

The kids are pretty excited, they have all ready claimed a few games that they want to each take a friend to. So it, is money well spent to see them excited about CFL football.
You'll have to wear a custom Rider jersey with "jayrock" on the back so we know who you are.
