You gotta secure the pigskin if you want to stay in the league...just saying.
At his size he’s better suited to play in the CFL than NFL. I hope he has a great career.
IIRC two in the first two games last year and he was gone after that. Kinda of sucks but that's the reality of the NFL for many.
Great vision and explosive. Maybe he gets picked back up. He’s strong enough to be an NFL specialist
Two punt returns for scores! To this day, I believe Desmond King stepped on his ankle on purpose.
let's just say he should and could have tried a hell of a lot harder not to............
No way did he step on his ankle on purpose.
I believe the 2 fumbles in the 2nd half of a Saints game is a big reason why Brandon Coleman is still looking for a team.
Great night, but speaking of fumbles....
It wasn’t a perfect night for Grant. He did have a fumble at the tail end of the first half, but his defence bailed him out, as Marcus Sayles picked off Stampeders quarterback Nick Arbuckle with just seconds to go in the second quarter

Grant won that game for Winnepeg. Final score was 26-24 and Winnepeg scored no offensive TDs (only 4 FGs). Not good to rely only on ST for points, but they (and Janarion) sure bailed them out today.
The CFL's wider field is made for Grant as his speed can get him to the outside away from traffic. Once there he won't get caught.
Awesome to see ... hope he is fully healed and stays healthy ... one of my Top 5 RU players of all time!
He still has that great vision , reaction time and SPEED.
Indeed. It seems like we don't even attempt a return anymore since he left. Just catch the ball an don't fumble. Which wouldn't be a bad strategy if you had an offense that could move the ball, but...
It’s actually incredible that we’re a P5 team and don’t have a player who can catch a punt in the air.
You sure about that? I thought the knock on RU last year was we were always fair catching the ball even when a return appeared possible.
Yea but pretty much everyone we put back there would muff the kick. Nobody could field one cleanly.
It's true. Hunter Hayek had punts bounce off his chest. Avery Young is a fantastic CB but it's not a great punt returner either. Most punts we just fair caught and never tried to return. We didn't even have a semi-decent punt returner back there.
Agree on Hunter Hayek. But then you said something about Avery Young that does not align with what you said above. You said above "It’s actually incredible that we’re a P5 team and don’t have a player who can catch a punt in the air."
Grant makes it look like all the other players can barely move.
Just watched RU classics from 2014. The Maryland comeback.We were down 35-10 in the first half and won 41-38. Grant. Caroo. Nova. Martin. Kroft. Martin. Longa. It was a joy to watch.
Random question on a random statement.
What is the purpose of steering young athletes to soccer? I get everyone cant make these leagues....but is soccer a sport where you can have some type of better chance just by deciding to steer towards it? Equally hard to reach the top level with world class athletes already participating. Why not steer these want ta be athletes to business degrees, nuclear engineering?
