The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced today they have signed import receivers Rod Harper and Eron Riley. Financial details of the signings were not released.

 

Harper (6’1 – 208) joins the Roughriders after spending time in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints where he returned two punt returns for touchdowns in the pre-season. He spent the 2009 season with the Arkansas Twisters of af2 where he led the league in multiple categories, including receptions and receiving touchdowns.

 

The Florida native attended Murray State where he led the team with 57 receptions for 779 yards and ten touchdowns in 2007. He ranks third in school history in both receiving yards and touchdowns.
