Roughriders bring in former NFL running back Tre Mason
The race to be the Roughriders running back is heating up.
The club announced Wednesday that running back Tre Mason had inked a deal joining Jerome Messam, Zac Stacy, Marcus Thigpen and Bryce Vieira in the offensive backfield.
Mason is a former St. Louis (now Los Angeles) Rams tailback that head coach Chris Jones has been tracking him for some time.
“We’ve been talking for a while and we just kind of reached out to him and it was something that he decided he wanted to do,” said Jones after practice on Wednesday.
