The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced today that import receiver Duke Calhoun and non-import receiver Guillaume Rioux have signed with the team. As per club policy financial details of the contracts were not released.
Calhoun (6’2 – 200) joins the Riders after spending parts of three seasons in the NFL. The Memphis, Tennessee native played two seasons with the New York Giants after originally signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2010. The 26-year old played nine regular season games for the Giants. He was forced to miss the entire 2012 season after suffering an injury at Oakland Raiders training camp.
Before going pro, Calhoun played four seasons at the University of Memphis totaling 212 receptions for 2,981 yards and 19 touchdowns in 49 career collegiate games.
Rioux (5’9 – 180) has signed with the Green and White after spending the previous five seasons at the University of Laval. The 25-year-old set a school record for career all-purpose yards, on his way to being named a 2013 league all-star and CIS All-Canadian. He is a three-time Vanier Cup champion.
