Former Alabama receiver Christion Jones signs with Canadian Football League

Life in the National Football League with the Miami Dolphins did not pan out the way Christion Jones may have wanted, but the former Alabama wide receiver is still living his dream.

After being released from the Dolphins and training countless hours with another ex-Crimson Tide standout turned athletic trainer, Mike McCoy, Jones has landed a spot in the Canadian Football League with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He took the field Sunday night versus the BC Lions, and was credited with three good special teams plays – including 73 return yards on three returns (two kicks, punt).
