Linden Gaydosh is making yet another football comeback.

The six-foot-three, 310-pound defensive tackle has battled injuries throughout his four-year pro football career. And while former NFL quarterback Vince Young has garnered plenty of attention at the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ training camp, Gaydosh is also launching his own return to the field.

“I just want to play ball,” Gaydosh told the Riders’ website. “It’s been tough every time I’ve had it taken away from me and it’s tough every time I want to come back.

“At the end of the day, I want to end my career on my own terms.”

Gaydosh, 26, was selected first overall in the 2013 CFL draft by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats following a stellar collegiate career at Calgary. Shortly afterwards, Gaydosh signed as a free agent with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers but suffered a season-ending back injury in training camp.

Gaydosh joined the Ticats in 2014 after being released by Carolina and played in Hamilton’s 20-16 Grey Cup loss to Calgary at B.C. Place. But he suffered a torn Achilles tendon during an off-season workout that cost him the 2015 season.
