“It’s tough, man,” says Bakari Grant, who signed with the Riders in the off-season after playing last season with the Calgary Stampeders.

“You’ve got to love that (fierce competition) as a football player. It’s like playing a game. You love a game for the competition aspect out of it. If you can get that, naturally, on the field, it’s a beautiful thing, especially when we go out and watch film and guys are helping each other out and then we go out and compete. It’s a competition and we love it.”

Bakari Grant is a true veteran, entering his seventh season in the Canadian Football League. The a 6-foot-4, 205-pound California-Davis product spent five seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and one season with the West Division champion Stampeders.

Antwane Grant, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound product of Western Kentucky, is a raw rookie new to the CFL after trying out for the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals in 2016.
