The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced today that the team has signed import running back Martell Mallett.
Mallett, a 6-0, 195-pound native of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, burst onto the CFL scene with the B.C. Lions in 2009, capturing the league’s Most Outstanding Rookie Award and a spot on the West Division All-Star team after rushing for 1,280 yards and six touchdowns. He also added 43 receptions for 342 yards and two receiving touchdowns.
After his incredible rookie campaign, Mallett signed with the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles and subsequently spent time with the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants.
“Martell’s combination of size, speed and strength makes him a force to be reckoned with. He’s a very physical runner and a great receiver out of the backfield. Martell will provide our offence with another potent weapon,” said vice president of football operations Bob O’Billovich.

Wow that one is a bit of a surprise considering Cobourne played well and then they have Terry Grant coming off injury
Hamilton will have a devastating 1-2 punch with Cobourne and Mallett. Nice pickup. Was Taman ever interested in bringing him here?

At least some teams want to and appear to be improving unlike the Riders. Wake up Taman and get those napkins out!!!!!
