Former Patriots QB reportedly signs with CFL team

Former New England Patriots quarterback Nathan Rourke reportedly signed with the Canadian Football League's (CFL) BC Lions, per KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson.

This could be considered a homecoming of sorts for Rourke, a British Columbia native who played for the BC Lions from 2021-2022. He recorded 4,035 passing yards and 28 touchdowns in two seasons with the team and even won the CFL Most Outstanding Canadian Award in 2022.

It's an award given to the best Canadian player in the CFL.

Rourke spent the 2023 season with both the Jacksonville Jaguars and Patriots.
