Graham Harrell headed to CFL with Roughriders



REGINA, Saskatchewan (AP)—Graham Harrell is headed to the CFL.
The record-setting Texas Tech quarterback signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday.

Harrell is the NCAA Division I career leader in touchdown passes but wasn’t drafted by the NFL. His workout with the Cleveland Browns did not result in a contract.

Harrell had to fight the perception that his numbers were the product of Texas Tech’s offensive system and he didn’t have the arm strength to succeed in the NFL.

The Roughriders are already two games into their season and have three quarterbacks on their roster. Their starter is former North Carolina quarterback Darian Durant, who had only four career CFL starts coming into the season.

He will get to play right away I think.

I'd say he will get some playing time behind center. Because the quarterback he is competing against has only four career starts in the CFL coming into the season.

Hope he does well and someday soon gets a shot at the NFL

Good Luck to Harrell. And in my opinion, he is good enough to go right in and start as a rookie.
