The
Saskatchewan Roughriders announced today that national quarterback Noah Picton
has been added to the team’s training camp roster.
Picton plays at the University of Regina and will join
the Riders after being appointed by the CFL as part of the Canadian quarterback
internship program.
Last season, the Regina native started four of eight
regular season games. The 19-year-old redshirt freshman completed 123 of 192
attempts (64.1%) for 2,029 yards and 11 touchdowns while adding 20 rush
attempts for 140 yards and a touchdown. He added 147 passing yards on 14
completions in the Canada West semi-final.

Picton will just be another in a long line of Canadian quarterbacks who won't get a sniff in the league.
The CFL says they are trying to rectify this, but its not happening which is sad
Congratulations to this young man Noah Picton, but he looks my 10 year old son without padding on. He better be heads up or he might get Kronwalled.
Is Asher Hastings a part of this program?
He's a better QB than Dean if you ask me!
Sorry, nobody asked you.
This is good for the kid and other Canadian QB's, but until the league rewards a team for having a Canadian QB on their roster, it doesn't matter.
