Mark LeGree has been with the Saskatchewan Roughriders all season. He's playing on the 2 deep behind the league's best defensive back and has recorded 4 interceptions (returning for a total 87 yards) and 1 fumble recovery.
On Thursday, the Riders signed running back/returner Steven Miller. Miller played last night, only had 1 carry for a loss, and returned 3 kicks for 42 yards. Seeing playing time in slightly over 24 hours after being signed has got to be a good sign.
The Roughriders are the defending Grey Cup Champions, and started the 18 game season at 8-2. Starting QB Darian Durant (formerly UNC CHeat) suffered a shoulder injury in the 11th game and the Riders have stumbled through 1-6 in the last 7. They have secured playoff spot (easy to do in a 9 team league) and play the last game of the season in Saskatchewan on November 8. Durant is expected to return for the playoffs.
For reference, I watch most Rider games on ESPN3, my father-in-law was their starting center from 1967 - 1978, and my wife is a big fan.
