Appalachian State legend and former Carolina Panther Armanti Edwards has signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Canadian Football League.
Edwards, 27, has been out of football for the past year. He was drafted in 2010 by the Panthers with the 89th overall selection in the third round and saw limited action as a wide receiver and kick/punt returner before being cut in 2013. He also signed with Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears but nothing stuck.
In the CFL, Edwards will get a chance to prove his skills at quarterback, something that he wasn’t afforded in the NFL.
