Riders add 3 to depth chart
Chris Jones and company continue to build up the Riders depth this off-season.
The Riders announced on Wednesday they’ve signed Canadian running back Melvin Abankwah, American defensive back Nick Taylor and American receiver Michael Campbell.
Abankwah was originally drafted by the Riders in the sixth round of the 2015 CFL Draft after four seasons at Saint Mary’s University. In his final season in CIS, Abankwah registered 534 yards and two touchdowns on 112 carries.
Abankwah was one of several players involved in a CIS football doping scandal.
