Second Guelph-born player to sign with @sskroughriders. The first was offensive lineman Jeff Inglis, who played in three games for the Green and White in 1986. Nield is the 4,520th documented player in Roughriders history and the 17th from McMaster.
Pack your rings kid, you're coming to Riderville! The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed National receiver Tommy Nield. 📝

229th Floridian to sign with the @sskroughriders — but the first from the city of Pembroke Pines. Other Mount Union grads to sign with the Riders: OL Roger Headland (1966 training camp) and QB Jim Ballard (four games in 2000; entered College Football Hall of Fame in 2008).
Found a gem! 💎 The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American wide receiver Wayne Ruby Jr. out of the University of Mount Union. 📝

Quirky stat: DB Roy Robinson played in 14 regular-season games with the 1972 @sskroughriders without registering an interception. But then he had a pick in the 1972 Western Semi-Final and the 1972 Grey Cup.
