EDMONTON — The Edmonton Elks announced Thursday the signings of four American players, including defensive linemen Eric Black and Chauncey Manac, quarterback Todd Centeio and running back Brian Herrien.
That makes at least two quarterbacks in camp who are competing for the third slot and should MBT or Ford be injured, in as backup and definitely some Team Jumbo duty.
But it’s one thing I like that the Elks do. Bring lots of guys and make then COMPETE for a spot.
I really dislike the “this is our guy” stuff unless its a proven performer like Brown, or Purifoy, or AC Leonard, the kind of guys you know are going out to give 100% on the field every play.
